Comment 166 for bug 134660

The Hardy kernel uses the rt2x00 driver that is in the kernel upstream. There have been several fixes since 2.6.24 release and I got a test kernel with most of them at:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~smb/rt2x00-test/

There is a chance this patchset might make it into the final Hardy release but we need feedback, whether this is an improvement. So please, any volunteers to try this are welcome.

As far as I can tell the version in Linus tree is 2.0.14. I am not expert in that field but it seems the more recent driver cannot be built easily for the Hardy kernel since it uses quite a lot mac80211 functionality that isn't in Hardy. A solution would be to put the advanced driver into linux-backport-modules. But this requires a codebase that can be compiled and used with the current Hardy code. But this requires more time (and knowledge) than I have.
