[Intrepid][Mythbuntu] Rt61pci wireless works on Ubuntu Live CD but not Mythbuntu Live CD

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Network-manager cannot connect to my access point, even when I disable all security (both MAC filtering and encryption - it is now completely open).

I tried most of the alphas and the beta and all worked as expected. Now that I am trying the final editions (of Ubuntu and Mythbuntu), it asks for my WPA2 password, then asks me to set up a password for my keyring, then the icon spins for a while and then asks for the WPA2 password again.

I have no issues connecting with an IPW2200.

Can anybody help me figure out where the issue is?
The driver is "rt61pci".

Please let me know what other information you require.

(Sorry that I keep changing the description - I managed to get an Ubuntu CD working and thought that the issue must be Mythbuntu-specific. I then realised it was an older CD).

I'm thinking that it must be some (tv tuner or lirc?) module that is in the Mythbuntu kernel but not the Ubuntu one. Can anyone think of anything I can try? Thanks again.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

Could you try to compare the lsmod output for the both live CDs to see what the modules that Mythbuntu have inserted and Ubuntu doesn't?
And then try to remove the extra modules that Mythbuntu inserted to too if the problem be solved, then you can figure out which module infect the wireless driver.

I've noted issues with RT61PCI driver that were only resolved till I upgraded to kernel version 2.6.31. See my notes under:
