[Bug 35474] Still having problems with wireless cards

[Rogério Brito]

Hi there, people.

Well, it seems that the situation with the rt61 cards is worse in edgy
than it was in dapper. :-(

I upgraded my laptop to edgy and the default kernel doesn't work at all
with the module rt61pci. :-( I kept the dapper kernel for now, with the
workaround that I mentioned earlier. :-(

In fact, I tried to install it from scratch from the alternernate CD for
i386 and, during the insertion of the module, a stack backtrace is
generated (I don't have the dmesg here at hand, but I can send it here,
if desired). :-(

It seems that a lot of other people have the same problem, according to
what I see in <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285072>.

The problem that I seen when trying to install edgy from scratch is
exactly what is described in the first post of the forum: two interfaces
wlan0 and wmaster0, but none work. :-(

Ben, please let me know if anything else is needed.


Regards, Rogério Brito.

P.S.: I also have a wireless USB card that would be driven by the ralink
drivers. I can also test it, if desired.
