I had terrible problems with my Edimax rt73 USB dongle (Bus 003 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.).
First I tried the trick of sudo modprobe -rv rt2500usb; sudo modprobe -rv rt73usb; sudo modprobe rt73usb This got the networking working but it would then stop after a few minutes and then go into a stuck state if I tried to repeat the modprobe trick. I have followed the instructions from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/34902/comments/177 and it seems to have fixed it! The only oddity is that dmesg gives me a dozen or so lines that say NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08 now. Any idea what this means? I also miss nm-applet and it's nice graphical wireless strength meter :) Raphael -- Ralink Wireless legacy drivers (rt2500 rt61 rt73 rt2570) USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
