devices considered down when up and viceversa

[lukyluke]

Binary package hint: rutilt

My usb DLink DWL G122 that at lsusb is seen as:

Bus 001 Device 020: ID 07d1:3c0f D-Link System
is not correctly used by the module
rt2800usb that is loaded when I insert it.

I tryed several other possibilities:
rt2870sta through realtech
rt2870sta through ndiswrapper.

None of the previous work
the rt2800usb correctly sees the devices but cannot control it properly.
After a lot of messing around I just discovered that when I ask the utility to turn the device off the ligth switches on.

The same happens through a
sudo ifconfig wlan1 down

So it looks like the drive simply misinterpret the on-off status of the dongle.

I found another report with the same exact symptoms

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/157433-please-help-rt2800-no-scan-results.html

I think that the bug is related more to either ifconfig of rt2800usb but I did not find any way to submit the bug for those packages.

My best regards

Hi lukyluke,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
