Comment 24 for bug 496093

This bug is still present in the 2010-01-24 daily live of Xubuntu.
I installed and got the same result as earlier.
This time however I tried to compile the rt2860 driver directly from Ralink. The original source release does not compile because of an error, but with a source patch back from Ubuntu 9.10 (I can probably find the link again if needed) I managed to compile anyway.
The self-compiled driver did however not help at all - in fact it seemed to make everything worse since the driver wouldn't load and function with network manager.
The way I ended up fixing it in the end was by simply installing the old 2.6.31-18 kernel from the archive - now everything works perfectly.
This is clearly (imho) a bug in the kernel, so I'm thinking it should be fairly simple to revert whatever kernel patch is causing this..
