Public bug reported:
I am not sure what package this would go into precisely. What I do know
is that the wireless device that I have seems to be driven by the
rt73usb driver and the performance from it is *extremely* poor. Also,
when the system is powered on, I must first boot into Windows Vista
prior to booting into Ubuntu, because Windows does something to the
wireless network device that enables Linux to carry on with it. If I do
not boot into Vista prior to attempting to use the device under Linux,
it never associates with my wireless network. I don’t know if
functionality regarding WEP/WPA is affected, because I do not use these
things on my network.
I first noticed the problem when I attempted to rsync my files from my
central backup location, and it consistently failed. It would not rsync
successfully until I moved the computer, plugged it into the wired
network, and then attempted to perform the rsync. It was then
successful.
The information that I have on the device is coming shortly. It is the
built-in USB wireless device from the “HP Pavilion Slimline s7700n PC”,
which I just purchased today so as to not have to continue to wear on my
laptop so that it will last longer, when I need it.
