I had this issue some months ago with 10.04 and I came across this thread. I followed the steps above to blacklist rt2800usb and then installed the backports compat wireless package and things worked fine.
Today, I upgraded to 10.10 and it all fell apart again. I made sure I had the correct backports package, tried both with and without blacklisting rt2800usb, still won't work. Interestingly, NetworkManager does actually detect the device and does detect various access points - but is just unable to connect to any of them. Has anyone tried this with 10.10? -- USB WiFi adapter with rt2870 chipset won't connect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549801 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
