Comment 15 for bug 133251

I'm pleased to write that with that deb it appears to work. Here are my steps:

Booted from gitsy daily-live 25.2 (current as today). Then I removed the modules related to the wifi card (that was inserted in the PCMCIA slot at boot time, but removed after the boot) using rmmod on rt2500pci, rt2x00pci, rt2x00lib and rfkill (that was using something from rt2x00). After installing your package (previously downloaded to an ext3 partition) the card was not correctly detected the first time, inserting it a second time solved it. After that, it showed networks availables in n-m and connected correctly to my wpa-protected AP without problems at all. Now I'm writing using the connection.

How can I help to push a definitive fix to this issue in the final release? Is it too late? According to your post you have located the exact commit where the issue was introduced (so it should be not so difficult to fix or revert the patch). am I wrong?

Thank you for your help. I was loosing the hope to see this solved (and I have 2 pcs with rt2500 chips around...). Now it appears to be a chance.
