Comment 59 for bug 869502

I'm a non technical Ubuntu user.
 After installing 11.10 I did get get kernel panic on an ASUS EPC900ax .
The RT2800 wireless driver was consistently listed in the panic text.
Panics only occured when running on battery - ok on power.
 I was previously using 11.04 without an issue.

As a workaround I have installed the RT3090 drivers via a deb found at the bottom of this link - www.halibutdepot.org/how_to_build_rt3090_for_ubuntu_lucid/

I did previously try to download and install Rt3090 via the Ralink web site but ran into Error conditions as I've seen other people experience trying the same thing ,and being non technical I thought the deb could work for me.

I dont know if it was required but I also blacklisted rt2800pci, rt2800ucb,rt2x00lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00usb in /etc/modprobe.d/blaclist.conf as I've seen in other problem reporting

Anyway using the deb and blacklisting rt2800pci etc has worked for me.

Using the workaround a nm-tool displays the wireless driver to be now rt2860i instead of rt2800 as was the case pre deb install
