[Bug 496093] Re: [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks

[Elton Woo]

@ Chris Barker: [you said:] "I'm not sure what your relationship is to
Ralink but if they are so "open-source friendly" why are their latest
drivers broken and require an end user like me to modify the source
code, compile the source code myself, and go through all sorts of back
flips just get a freaking wireless card connected to the Internet?"

I have no 'relationship' with Ralink, nor do I represent any other
company or entity that may be mentioned in this forum. My enthusiastic
tone WRT RaLink was based on merely *seeing* that they do have drivers
available. Until reading your response, I was totally unaware of the
real situation. I merely used Ricardo Salvetri's patched kernel post-
install of LUCID.

>From the tone of your reply, I can well understand your frustration.

As for me, I am just "average Joe" who has a smattering to linux
knowledge, is mainly a GUI user, and who found that Ubuntu made LINUX
easy for me. I certainly appreciate that other more knowledgeable linux
enthusiasts / coders like yourself give your free time to help.
