As far as I'm concerned the regression began in dapper. I have a card
using the same Ralink chipset that won't work under dapper. Neither
will my DLink. Neither will my Intel. Neither will my Netgear. Neither
will my Necomm. Dapper and Edgy have horrible, horrible wireless
"support". Funnily enough Breezy worked straight out of the box, was
all ready to go with all of those cards. Dapper and Edgy identify them
just fine but wont configure them. Ubuntu is headed in a very bad
direction. I truly hope the actual release of Edgy proves me wrong,
but I can't see how it will be much different from the RC released one
week before.
