Comment 53 for bug 496093

I also noticed this bug when I installed the latest Lucid in my eeepc 1000he.

Checking linux mainline, I saw that they updated the driver with almost 40 patches, but the main important one was the update from vendor's V2.1.0.0 driver, that could possible fix this issue.

Tested with 2.6.34-rc3 and wasn't able to reproduce the problem, so I decided to backport the driver into lucid's kernel, so I could fix it and continue using the same kernel, besides the possibility to send the fixes for lucid.

Today I built a new kernel, based on 2.6.32-19-generic, with the backported rt2860, and was also unable to reproduce the bug.

Just published the kernel at http://rsalveti.net/pub/ubuntu/kernel/lucid/

Please, if possible, give it a try and if it works for more people I'll publish the kernel tree with the backported patches, and will try to merge it to Lucid.

To install the new kernel, please install the following packages:
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-19_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_all.deb
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-19-generic_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_i386.deb
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_i386.deb

Reboot and try to connect.
