Hi. rt2860sta? That doesn't seem to be shipped with ubuntu anymore. (and rt28xxpci/lib worked fine last time I checked)

See comment 16. UPSTREAM: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-November/002310.html HARDWARE: RaLink RT2860 [1814:0781] rt2x00_set_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 2872, rf: 0003, rev: 0200. SYMPTOM: Syslog says: "phy0 -> rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error - PBF system register not ready.". WLAN does not work at all. The Network Manager Applet says: "Wireless networks disconnected". That log entry comes from module rt2800lib which is pulled in by module rt2800pci. (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c;hb=HEAD) WHERE: In summary this happens on all tested ubuntu and debian 64 bit kernels 2.6.34 or newer, but not on 2.6.33 or older. It does however work on fedora's 2.6.35 64 bit live. POSSIBLE DUPLICATES: bug #594866 (ref. comment 10) WHERE IN DETAIL: where it happens: In final maverick 64 bit live. This also happens on the 2.6.36rc8 mainline kernel in a current installed maverick. Also happens there with compat-wireless-2010-10-20. Also happens on lucid with a backported natty kernel: (details in comment #5) on lucid (installed) 64bit: Linux w 2.6.36-1-generic #7~lucid1-Ubuntu Both with this kernels stock rt2800pci and with self compiled compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc. Also happens with that 2.6.36-1.7~lucid1 kernel (natty for lucid from kernel team ppa) on maverick. The rt2800pci (stock from that kernel) produced the load firmware error. (comment #3) Happens with debian live (aptosid) kernel 2.6.35 64 bit, but not with 32bit. (ref. comment 6) Happens with 2.6.34 (ref. comment 7) This bug does not happen with: not with 2.6.33 (ref. comment 7) This does not happen on 32 bit maverick live where WLAN works (out of the box) just as well as with the rt2860sta. Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on lucid 64bit with the standard 2.6.32 kernel. It can connect. (Ping is 1000-25000ms though.) Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on maverick (2.6.35 kernel) 32 bit live (ping went from good to 1000ms there within a minute after connecting however, but that is beside the point here.) This does not happen on Fedora 14 beta live 64bit. (I achieved a respectable 10Mb/s with iperf in ad hoc mode with the rt2800pci. rt2860sta is not included.) Not with 32 bit lucid: Linux ubu 2.6.32-24-generic (ref. comment 8) Not with 2.6.37rc1 32 bit (ref. comment 9) REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% best keep the competing rt2860sta from loading with the entry "install rt2860sta /bin/false" in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/; maverick also comes with the rt2860sta module which will often load and get used if it is just blacklisted ("blacklist rt2860sta"); ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic 2.6.35-22.33 Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
