[regression] RT2800 wireless does not work

[Seth Hikari]

01:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R Cardbus

In Linux Kernel 2.6.34-5 will not connect to network. Can see them though. Open or not. Receive message at boot

Using 2.6.34-2 to send this, works fine in this kernel

Maybe duplicate of Bug #539794 ?

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi Seth,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, please 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 588113

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/KernelMainlineBuilds . 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.

I have ran the daily build CD and it also contains this bug, I will compile the upstream kernel to see if it may still be present there.

Seth,
   Compiling shouldn't be necessary. The link above to the mainline builds should get you to an image to test on from the Kernel PPA.

Thanks!

Oh that would of been nice to know for the last kernel bug I worked on. But I have just tested that current 2.6.35-rc1 and the bug is not present there.

[Seth Hikari (sethhikari)]

Seems to be fixed in kernel 2.6.35-1

[Frank Groeneveld (frankgroeneveld)]

I have this problem with the latest daily live cd on my netbook. Also note that in Lucid the rt3090sta driver was used, but now rt2800usb and rt2870sta are loaded (I don't have a usb version).

[Frank Groeneveld (frankgroeneveld)]

BTW, using this kernel: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-rc5-maverick/ it all seems to work fine when installed on Lucid.

This is in 10.10 fully update (15/10/2010)

Log:

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

Can reproduce this problem on Quantal (3.5.0-23) as well, so I think this report needs to be reopened...

[Kenny Strawn (realkstrawn93)]

And attached is my "dmesg | grep regbusy" output on Quantal (using a Linksys WMP600N desktop PCI adapter, which happens to have an RT2860 chip) to confirm the issue...
