[Bug 34902] Re: Ralink Wireless legacy drivers (rt2500 rt61 rt73 rt2570) USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC

[lesshaste]

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 :)
