Bug Description
Hardware: Rosewell RNX-N1 Wireless N (USB WiFi adapter using a rt2870 chipset).
Problem: Device is detected but multiple drivers are being loaded, evidently causing a conflict that makes connecting impossible.
Version of Ubuntu: 10.04 Beta 1
More information and a manual fix concerning this problem can be found here:

I was able to get this device working correctly by blacklisting the following devices:
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb
The reason I am reporting this bug is that this is not consumer friendly behavior. Not many regular computer users will be able to find the fix, let alone accomplish the fix.

Hi Nick,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ .
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 549801
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
