Comment 9 for bug 376577

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same bug on Ubuntu 9.10 on an eeePC 901

I tried downloading the newer ralink driver from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
I picked the "RT2860PCI/mPCI/CB/PCIe(RT2760/RT2790/RT2860/RT2890)" option.

However, I can't get it to compile properly:

Anyone have any suggestions?
