I installed a wireless router today and found I couldn't connect to it with my new Jaunty install. I had a similar issue at the university with a network of Airport Extreme stations.
I tried the 2.1.1.0 version on the web site but that didn't help. I decided to compare the 1.7.1.1 and 1.8.0.0 versions and found a place where they didn't quite finish refactoring; I fixed it, reloaded my module, and it worked! I had to remove the "official" driver from /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/rt2860sta.ko before my new driver was seen. Can anyone verify these patches work? I made one for 1.8.0.0, but it also works for 2.1.1.0. You'll have to compile your own version of the drivers and disable the ubuntu-supplied one as shown above. They work for me and I can now connect to my wireless at home without issues. Yay! Hope it works for you guys too. :) ** Attachment added: "Patch for 1.8.0.0, should also work for 2.1.1.0" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25979268/rt2860sta-connect-to-mixed-tkip-aes-routers.patch -- [Jaunty] wireless rt2860 not connecting to WPA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
