Comment 240 for bug 134660

After a few days of testing I want to tell to all of us struggling with a hardy kernel on top of gutsy that the best way to go is to install hardy: everything works much better in hardy than in gutsy with updated kernel, wicd a must AFAICT. I also have to say that things are working better than before but we're not there yet: the hardware dies after a few hours online, while it used to die after a bunch of minutes before; this is an improvement but things are not working as they should and some more work has to be done. This is in regard of the rt73 dongle, still no luck with the rt2570 as of today.

Regarding the linux-backports-modules-hardy package: I installed this too but did not notice any benefit, how do I make sure the kernel is loading the backport modules instead of the default ones? Going to the /lib/modules directory shows that both modules are installed in different locations and I really do not know how to verify which generation of module is being loaded. A nice weekend to everybody, luca
