** Description changed:
+ SRU Justification for Lucid for linux-backports-modules-2.6.32:
+
+ The change adds a new version of the rt2860sta and rt2870sta drivers to
+ the linux-backports-modules-wireless package. The drivers did not exist
+ before, so there is no regression potential due to them. If the drivers
+ fail to work properly, the user can just remove the package and use the
+ stock drivers.
+
+ =====
+
The rt2860sta module, included with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) cannot connect
to mixed WPA/WPA2 networks.
This driver is used in most EeePCs.
This issue is fixed in the 2.6.33 kernel, unfortunately this kernel is not
yet available in Lucid.
Symptoms are: connection works once but disconnects rapidly and then
gets stuck in a connect/ask password cycle, or cannot connect at all.
There are two known fixes at the moment:
[1]: Ricardo Salveti maintains a 2.6.32 kernel with the fix backported (See
comment #80)
[2]: Installing the official drivers from RaLink also solves the issue for
some. (See comment #107).
To check if your wireless chipset is indeed the RaLink chipset that is
affected by this driver, execute the "lspci -vnn | grep RaLink" command.
It should display something close to the following:
$ lspci -vnn | grep RaLink
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2860 [1814:0781]
- Subsystem: RaLink Device [1814:2790]
+ Subsystem: RaLink Device [1814:2790]
