FEISTY: rt2500 not working correctly

[Patrick]

In Feisty, my wireless card, a Conceptronic C54g (or similar) PCI with ralink's rt2500 chipset doesn't work automatically after booting. I know it doesn't work with network manager, so I have configured it with the standard gnome network tool and have disabled network manager in System -> Preferences -> Sessions. To make the card work, I have to keep doing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart after every boot. After that, it works just fine. Using the legacy drivers (rt2500.ko), rt2x00 drivers don't work at all.

I have had the same problem, update to feisty reboot and no working rt2500 pci wifi card

I use a custom compiled vanilla kernel and driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.org (legacy)
The same combination worked in edgy so i guess that the problem lies in wireless tools...

Kernel version is 2.6.20.8 and the driver is a cvs snapshot from
a few weeks

i have used this in my /etc/network/interfaces for eges without
major problems
iface ra0 inet dhcp
        pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
        pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
        pre-up ifconfig ra0 up
        pre-up ifconfig ra0 down
        pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "myssid"
        pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
        pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
        pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP
        pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="A shared key"
        pre-up ifconfig ra0 up

The interface comes up and gets an ip by dhcp but no traffic is allowed
as if it have not been autentificated

pings and sudo ifdown ra0 results in msgs like:
send_packet: operation not permitted

Any hints?

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
