Hi David, this looks like a power saving related bug in the rt2800pci driver that is fixed by a newer kernel that is unfortunately still only available through natty-proposed. Please activate proposed and update your kernel.
Please also install the most up to date version of firmware for the rt2800pci driver from: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp762987/linux-firmware_1.52~lp762987v201106061858_all.deb as long as the task of updating the linux-firmware in your ubuntu version to this new firmware is not "fix released" (see bug 762987). Your hardware should now work with the in kernel rt2800pci driver. The driver rt2860 offered by Ralink on their website does not fit the linux wireless infrastructure (mac80211 stack) and has other limitations. Thank you for report and please let me know whether or not rt2800pci now works for you with the upgraded kernel and firmware. You may have to blacklist the rt2860sta module in order to get the rt2800pci to drive your hardware. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Tags added: rt2800pci ** Tags removed: staging ** Summary changed: - Natty rt2800 kernel driver bug. on eepc 1000h + RT2860 [1814:0781] natty rt2800 kernel driver bug. on eepc 1000h -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796230 Title: RT2860 [1814:0781] natty rt2800 kernel driver bug. on eepc 1000h To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/796230/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
