Well, it looks like it's recognized in some way at least if there's so much activity. The result I have in 'dmesg' when I plug it in for the first time is similar to the first dozen or so lines of your output. I assume you are using the generic kernel, not the server one? I don't have WPA or WPA2, mine is an unsecured connection.
In one of the Ubuntuforums threads I noticed that there were two changes that were supposed to be necessary to get the rt3070 (?) driver to work: one of them was editing the source to add this particular device to the list of matching hardware, the other was to edit the source to change WPA and WPA2 from "disabled" to "enabled". Possibly the wireless backports module only currently has the first change. I don't know how to show more test results. For the first time I plugged it in after restarting it showed the "rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned." message from your results, and then further messages. If I plug it in again, this is the exact output in dmesg leading to connection to an unsecured wireless network (selecting a second network before the first showed as fully connected in the network manager icon in Gnome): ** Attachment added: "Connection with Lucid using wireless backports and generic kernel" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48470754/dmesg%20output%20for%20successful%20connect.txt -- Linksys WUSB54GC v3 (ID 1737:0077) doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
