This is strange. If I startup Dapper with eth0 deactivated and rausb0 activated I get no link over the DLINK dwl-g122 using the driver mentioned above. The interface is up but I have got no IP from the DHCP over WiFi. What makes it work hints about a startup script problem:
Open System->Administration->Networking Deactivate the wireless (rausb0) connection Activate the wireless (rausb0) connection This will hang forever unless: Open a terminal window Issue: sudo ifup rausb0 Now it comes up! It does not work with either method alone, they seems both to be needed. My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this: iface lo inet loopback <snip> iface rausb0 inet dhcp wireless-essid myDlink524 wireless-key blablablablasecretkey allow-hotplug rausb0 auto rausb0 iface eth0 inet dhcp #auto eth0 -- Ralink Wireless USB/PCMCIA/PCI hangs PC https://launchpad.net/bugs/34902 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
