[Bug 665122] [NEW] Upgrade to kernel 2.6.32-25 broke RaLink RT2860 wireless

[Jakob Unterwurzacher]

Public bug reported:

Problem
======
This is on a EeePC 1000H, RaLink RT2860, Ubuntu Lucid.
2.6.32-24: wireless worked out of the box.
2.6.32-25 broke wireless (I tested several WPA access points), cannot connect.

Workaround
==========
Adding the line
blacklist rt2800pci
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf fixed the issue.
