Bug Description
I have wireless pci adapter "EDIMAX EW-7128G",
chipset is detected as "RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI" in device manager.
This is a new adapter so I didn't try it on Feisty. winXP has no problems with it.
I'm using WPA2 (AES).
Gutsy final.
I have sudden disconnections, I think it happens mostly on network load (while using firefox).
When I get disconnected, I get a request to enter the network password again and again, but that doesn't help.
The only way I was able to regain connection is by rebooting the computer. (On login I need to enter keyring password).
I tried to disable "roaming mode" and configure manually, but haven't succeed to connect like this.
I tried "/etc/init.
What other information do you need ?
please let me know.
Thanks,
Nir.

I found out that doing:
sudo rmmod rt61pci 2.6.22- 14-generic/ ubuntu/ wireless/ rt2x00/ rt61pci. ko
sudo insmod /lib/modules/
makes me able to connect again after I get disconnected (instead of rebooting)
