Hi all,

 This is for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441990

 To get the Buffalo WLI-UC_GN 802.11n USB-wifi  device working,
please apply the following trivial patch:

diff --git a/drivers/staging/rt2870/2870_main_dev.c
b/drivers/staging/rt2870/2870_main_dev.c
index d0ed48b..a00aac4 100644

       { USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0x7717) }, /* Edimax */
       { USB_DEVICE(0x1EDA, 0x2310) }, /* AirTies 3070 */
       { USB_DEVICE(0x1737, 0x0077) }, /* Linksys WUSB54GC-EU v3 */
+       { USB_DEVICE(0x0411, 0x015D) }, /* Buffalo Airstation NFiniti
WLI-UC-GN */
       { } /* Terminating entry */
 };


I have confirmed that this makes it work for me.

Please also consider adding the following lines as well:

+       {USB_DEVICE(0x148F,0x2070)}, /* Ralink 2070L */

This seems to be confirmed to work by various other people on
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1285828  but I cannot
personally confirm.  I'm pretty sure it should be added though.
