Thanks, sorry I wasn't clear enough 'improve the behavior with legacy drivers' yes that was one reason I upgraded, and also why I was surprised when it didn't work.
pre update rutilt would be started with X and I would select the profile hit apply (prompted for admin password ie not running sudo) and it would connect fine. after the update rutilt would be started with X and I would select the profile hit apply (prompted for admin password ie not running sudo) and it quickly brings up an application modal window 'network interface is down' (actually when you first do this it brings up 2, which is interesting) and then continues to do this for a while (presumably it retries and fails each time) I tried running sudo rutilt still doesnt work tried sudo rutilt and created a new profile ( just in case you had changed the format) still doesnt work it can scan for networks (and oddly it found more that previously, but I don't think that's relevant, they are all on channel 11 , I'm on 13 so no interference) so the hardware is working at this point. it can't connect to any of them. just in case it was because my driver wasn't the latest I downloaded the latest serialmonkey driver followed instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236 removed the kernel driver (sudo modprobe -r rt73) then loaded the new one still no joy it wont connect used command line to issue ifconfig /iwconfig commands to get it to connect this works so its not an issue with the driver opened synaptic package manager and forced install of previous rutilt works first time -- 'network interface is down' when trying to connect to network using rt73 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
