Bug Description
I use Ubuntu 8.04 on a desktop with the RaLink rt2561/rt61 pci wireless card.
Wireless worked out-of-the-box, but the computer used to freeze randomly. I learned from the thread at the ubuntu forum http://
So I installed the package linux-backports
As far as I understand, it downloads and installs the newest versions of all drivers automatically.
The driver was automatically updated to the version 2.1.8.
It appeared, however, that now the wireless does not work at all.
It does see the available wireless networks but fails to connect.
As far as I understand, the problem is with the driver version 2.1.8 rather than with the package linux-backports
I don't no which package the driver belong to. Therefore I left the corresponding field empty.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
We have instructions for debugging this types of problems at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingHa rdwareDetection
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
