rt2500usb can't route through gateway

[jhansonxi]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) beta 1 i386 LiveCD
Dell Inspiron 2650 (no integrated wireless)
SMC SMC2804WBR router used as AP (unencrypted)
Subnet connected to IPCop 1.4.21 blue interface as default gateway and DNS
Belkin F5D7050 USB 802.11g

After plugging-in and making connection, can only ping subnet and browse to SMC administration page (192.168.13.2). DNS queries fail to resolve (tested by pinging google.com). The route command shows the correct 192.168.13.1 IP as the default gw and resolv.conf shows it as the DNS. Other systems on same wireless connection work normally.

Further testing revealed that it doesn't work even if the device was plugged in when the laptop was started.

A Belkin F5D8013 PCMCIA 802.11n card worked with this same system without problems (tested after reboot).

Problem still occurs with 10.04 beta 2.

Hello,
you use a Belkin F5D7050 ID 050d:705a with Ralink rt73-Chipset. Two Modules are loadet, rt2500usb and rt73usb. Block rt2500usb. You need only rt73usb. Code:

echo 'blacklist rt2500usb' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Restart and check it out:

lsmod | egrep 'rt2|rt7'

Is the problem still there in Ubuntu 12.04?

Problem is not present in Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)

[Marius B. Kotsbak (mariusko)]

Are you having two modules loaded as described in comment 5?

[jhansonxi (jhansonxi)]

On 12.04 only rt73usb is being loaded. There is an rt2x00usb module loaded but it seems to be dependent on rt73usb.

From my reading of this bug, this is fixed in 12.04+, so marking as such.
