Hello Carlos. How "fresh" was your first fresh installation? If it was an upgrade from Karmic it could have been using the Karmic drivers which Adrien reports worked very well. It your experience truly did show that it worked from the installation kernel and failed with the installed kernel that might be an important clue in narrowing down this bug.
I sometimes have troubles with wifi of my own hardware and others who I help at user groups from time to time so I know how frustrating it can be to see it work with Windows and not work with Linux. This is one of those nasty cases that can use all the help it can get so a fix can be found for all possible cases of slightly different hardware. I talked to Adrien Lamothe on Sunday at a LUG meeting. I insisted we try plugging his USB adapter into my Lucid laptop running linux- image-2.6.32-23-generic (2.6.32-23.37) kernel that has the linux- firmware-nonfree 1.8 installed on it already. It failed to recognize or show up with sudo lsusb -v for some reason. My guess is this was due to several suspend and resume events. I have no problems with other USB devices on this laptop but without the hardware here I can't troubleshoot further. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys says that only v.4 WUSB54G adapters use the Ralink 2500 chipset. As I recall Adrien said his uses a different one. I hope he responds with more details about how it appears to the kernel under 9.10. I believe the WUSB54G is a widely sold Linksys adapter "model" that has been manufactured using several different chipsets over time, each needing different firmware. When looking closely at Adrien's this weekend we found no minor revision number on the hardware. Serial numbers might be needed to help track down this bug if linux-firmware-nonfree still doesn't fix it in all cases. Since Adrien has now downgraded back to 9.10 in part because of this 10.04 bug it would be helpful if other people can take the time to provide the details that Brian and Jeremy need to help isolate this bug. -- Linksys WUSB54G wireless adapter not working in Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565613 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
