Comment 28 for bug 139070

Hi guys,

Thanx for a really sweet distro, I'm really enjoying Gutsy. My only real big pain is this damn Ralink driver problem.
I've tried compiling stuff from the serialmonkeys to ralinks STA drivers. I even tried the deb above. The drivers register and the card gets detected but no matter what i do I cant get a connection. Funny enough, if I blacklist all the drivers except 2x00lib, 2x00usb and rt73usb, network manager kicks in and I connect no problem, but its so flippen flaky, at any time the connection gets dropped, especially if I go into gmail or facebook, funny enough. Then I actually have to remove the usb, and insert into another port. The longest I had the connection working for was about 3 hrs. But it just dies suddenly, time and time again. I'm using a usb adapter with the same device id 148f:2573 Ralink.....

When is this puppy getting fixed? I can imagine its quite urgent, considering the load of rt2573 devices there are out there all using the Ralink rt73 148f:2573 device and chipset. Please hurry, asking very nicely pls
