Comment 75 for bug 446889

@jimbib #74 : I did not install 2.6.31-18-generic headers but just linux-image-2.6.31-18-generic

@Keng-Yü Lin #67 :

> Since 2.6.31-stable is frozen upstream now and karmic is going to frozen

Firmware rt2870.bin you proposed does not work with upstream
2.6.33-999-generic_2.6.33-999.201003061003_i386.deb either
The distribution rt2870.bin also does not work with this upstream kernel
----------
Is it really a problem of firmware? The distribution firmware works fine with the kernel you patched.

Is the patch you installed the one attached here? Can we have short instructions on how to patch the current
distribution kernel ? (I need it because your patched kernel does not work with nvidia ...)
