Ok guys here is what needs to happen to get it working properly form the get go, this is caused by the missing RT2860STA.dat file in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/ folder.
Tested it since 8.10 and this is consistent , all i have to do to get it working is create the folder above, copy the file there and restart the interface. we need this file included with the driver by default and everything would work. My guess is that firmware is using it somewhere. Once you copied the file do sudo ifconfig ra0 down sudo rmmod rt2860sta sudo modprobe rt2860sta sudo ifconfig ra0 up this fixes the problem so i gues we just need to include the RT2860sta file with the driver and place it in the directory specified -- [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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
