[Bug 1043403] Re: Wireless not active during installation or after boot

[Tim Gardner]

The root of your issue might be this (found in BootDmesg.txt):

[    8.981460] rt61pci 0000:00:06.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    8.981477] rt61pci 0000:00:06.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; please try using pci=biosirq
[    8.981495] rt61pci 0000:00:06.0: setting latency timer to 64

Title:
  Wireless not active during installation or after boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The i386 has a  Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI wireless card.
  However, the installation process seems unable to use it to find any
  wireless networks, not even open networks.  Same goes after booting
  and trying manually.
