rmmod rt2800usb did the trick! rt2780sta is apparently the right driver to use, and rt2800usb hijacked my device.
Thank you, Wolfgang Kufner! If you still want the output, I guess I'll have to disconnect and copy it. But I assume this can be marked as solved - however I'm not sure how to patch it. Is it upstream rt2x00 development that has to be notified? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765606 Title: [STAGING] rt2x00 won't connect to network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/765606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
