Bug Description
On Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon
Device: Linksys WUSB54GC usb wireless network adapter
Chipset: rt73
Driver: rt73usb
Kernel: current is 2.6.22-13-generic, also had the same problem on ...-12-generic
Issue:
When plugging in the device it starts up and runs normally (the only "problem" is that I have to enter WEP key each time).
After some time, it might be one, two or several hours (it seems random to me at the moment, but I'm not sure yet), it simply stops working and throws this error
[22035.479775] phy0 -> rt2x00usb_
[22035.599724] phy0 -> rt2x00usb_
[22035.615587] phy0 -> rt73usb_
repeatedly until I physically detach the device from the computer and re-insert it. Then it works fine again for some (random) time. Not a major bug, but a quite annoying one anyway.
The reason I think it's random is because it happens at any time, I might be running something through wine, simply chat with pidgin IM, browse the net, listen to music or even be AFK. then it just disconnects.
Anyway, I'm -REALLY- pleased this device is working out-of-the-box now in Gutsy, it did'tin Feisty! :)
Hey, a new error output, too!
