Comment 14 for bug 762987

> Are the problems with the natty release kernel 2.6.38-8.42? Try with the 2.6.38-9.43 from proposed.

Yes, the problems occur with the 2.6.38-8.42 kernel that ships with natty. 2.6.38-9.43 fixes those, no trouble with that version :-)

Both 2.6.38-9.43 from proposed and 2.6.39.1 from mainline still need the updated firmware, otherwise you get that "firmware missing" message again.

So all what has to be done is to include the new rt2870.bin in the linux-firmware package in natty. 2.6.38-9.43 will land in natty in some days anyway.
