[Bug 36898] [dapper] can not connect to a wireless network with rt2500

[aurelien naldi]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 rt2500 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
on an up to date dapper, using the rt2500 driver, the ra0 interface is
correctly detected, scanning works fine but I can't actually join a
network.

I removed all authentification from my AP for testing, it didn't solve anything.
Same card/AP works fine with breezy live-cd

Once it seemed to connect, it got the right IP address but network was unreachable anyway (I couldn't even ping the AP)
I can't run RaConfig2500, it doesn't find the driver (which is loaded!)

$ uname -a
Linux mem 2.6.15-19-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Mar 20 16:46:02 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

$ dmesg | grep ra0

$ lspci | grep Ralink

I don't have any other wifi card to test.
