Public bug reported:
My wireless-network was running ok with Ubuntu8.04 and kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
#1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux.
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008
i686 I couldn't make any network-connections
(Booting with the old kernel solves the problem).
I'm using a Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:1706 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. WL-
167G 802.11g Adapter [ralink]
With kernel 24-16 I get the following working network:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 1
logical name: rausb0
serial: 00:11:d8:8e:79:2d
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes ip=192.168.1.2 multicast=yes
wireless=RT2500USB WLAN
Modules : usbcore 146028 6
rt2500usb,rt2x00usb,usblp,rt2570,uhci_hcd
With kernel 24-17 : (not working network)
*-network
description: Wireless interface
physical id: 1
logical name: rausb0
serial: 00:11:d8:8e:79:2d
capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11g
Modules : usbcore 146028 5
rt2500usb,rt2x00usb,usblp,uhci_hcd
It looks as rt2570 is not loaded and that the interface is denoted as IEEE
802.11g iso RT2500USB WLAN
In case of the newer kernel, wmaster0 is activated ??

Witk kernel 24-16 I get the following report (dmesg)

I looks as if another kind of driver is being loaded. As soon as this
wmaster0-stuff appears in the ifconfig,
then it is not possible to make an connection.
Booting from kernel 24-16 always results in a good wireless network.
Any suggestions?
