Comment 4 for bug 210725

There are new drivers available at RaLink's site which compile on Hardy's kernel. However, after testing them this morning, they don't work properly. Similar issue as with the ndiswrapper drivers mentioned above, the card can scan the network but not connect to anything.

An update on the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. I discovered it worked on another network, so after some tweaking on my network at home I managed to get it working. However, for the fact that the current settings are now identical to the previous settings, and the fact that I managed to get it working initially under the exact same circumstances it failed to work under before, I consider the bandaid patch of using ndiswrapper drivers to be UNSTABLE. Also, the range of the wireless seems to be less than I think it should be (I'm currently getting between 40-50% strength with this laptop, whereas my ASUS A6Jc which is 2 years old is getting 80-90% in the same position, and the range was greater under Windows Vista [*shudder*]).
