I've had this same problem. Now trying Odiseo's solution (pointed out by Ludwik) of building the rt2500 driver from source and blacklisting the provided rt2500pci driver. Seems to be working so far. I hope I never have to do another "sudo ifdown ra0 && sudo ifup ra0" :P
I think this problem is quite severe. It breaks network connectivity in hardware that previously (in Feisty) worked. It would be good if an update could be released, but that seems at odds with itself, as it requires the network (which times out with the provided driver). Anyway, it would be great if a formal solution could be provided. -- rt2500: network-manager fails to join wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
