> + The bug occurs commonly and it's very important - and will be easy - to fix it.
> + ======================================
> +
> + Cards don't work because of the invalid drivers (extremely slow
> + connection, no connection, connection lost, lack of the wpa support)
> + included in Ubuntu.
> +
> + Work-around: To install the proper driver from serialmonkey.
> +
> + SOLUTION:
> + 1. Find out which version of a serialmonkey driver works properly with each ralink card.
> + 2. Implement ralink serialmonkey drivers in Ubuntu.

> + http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/
> +
> + Most likely the newest CVS version of each ralink driver works
> + correctly.

> + Please write which drivers are known to work and which are invalid.
