Comment 6 for bug 451249

Hey Chase

I have tested with the Karmic ppa-repos as suggested, and the dongle works fine with the "new" firmware (and the firmware-file is of same size as my previous one, dug from the net), so you can get it released for Karmic.

I tested also Xubuntu Lucid Beta1 desktop-live and according to kern.log the firmware is present there too.

Thanks

Jari

P.S. FYI: I have to use wicd, becuse the network-manager is unable to operate sensibly in an enviroment where there are many basestations with the same SSID operating on different channels. In my current wlan-environment @utu.fi the nm obviously connects to weak station on channel 1 although the nearest basestation operates at channel 11 and the connection drops and connects all the time. In nm it is not possible to choose the right connection by hand, or not even see the available channel information. With wicd I can choose the network and the channel and use the net. The drawback with wicd is the current lack of vpn-connections.
