Comment 57 for bug 134660

I think this should be raised too. It is a shame IMHO that Gutsy was shipped with flaky drivers when the legacy ones worked perfectly well, as far as I can see simply because of a fixation with Network Manager. The Ubuntu Hardy source for rt2x00 dates back to early November; have Serialmonkey made no progress since then? The problem with Hardy as it stands 2.6.24-4 is that the legacy drivers do not work (in my experience), so we no longer have the option to compile and install a working older version. Whilst the drivers do not prevent the system booting, a laptop without a decent wireless connection is badly hamstrung.
