wavelan plugin for xfce4 don't recognize wifi interface

[wodz]

After upgrade from dapper to edgy, tooltip of wavelan plugin sais: "No such WaveLAN device". My WiFi card i Ralink RT2500 mini-pci - it works correctly.
The output of iwconfig ra0:
ra0 RT2500 Wireless ESSID:"linksys"
          Mode:Managed Frequency=2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:18:39:C6:35:65

I can confirm this behaviour. I'm using a Acer Travelmate 803 Lci with an integrated Intel Pro Wireless 2100 as eth1.

The connection works correctly like it should, but no signal is displayed.

Can this possibly be connected to the change from devfs to udev?

Did you right click to configure first, and select ra0 in the drop down box? If that doesn't work then
there is something else wrong.

It could perhaps take the first interface that looks like a wifi one.

Thanks,

James

Yes, I configured plugin. Anyway in Feisty plugin works again.

Hi,

wodz, is it still an issue or can this bug be closed?
Thanks.

As I wrote, in Feisty plugin works with rt2500 legacy driver. So this bug can be closed. However few days ago I downloaded wireless-dev git tree and compiled new opensource driver for rt2500 and plugin stopped working again. But since this bugraport is related to rt2500 legacy driver consider this only as a side note.
