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. :)
