Comment 3 for bug 92742

Can confirm too. It appears that the driver used has changed between kernels, the legacy driver worked fine bar the Network Manager issue. We are now getting the rt2x00 driver for rt2500 cards, and probably others, have not found a way to connect yet.

Booting previous kernel (2.6.20-10.17) still works as before.

Comparison of modules loaded on boot are shown here.
