Comment 103 for bug 190515

This is turning into a genuine fiasco. I'm very aware that most work on Linux is on a volontary basis but upstream's arrogance and attitude, quite frankly, sucks. Look, if the driver is a rt2xxx "generic", "catch all", then the damn thing should work with rt2400 and rt2500 chipsets. If he doesn't want to back port (wait, isn't your crap supposed to work with 45 & 25? What's "back" about it?) then the driver name should be changed to rt 26* or rt28* or whatever since it IS NOT GENERIC TO ALL RT2xxx chipsets! Furthermore, as was stated above, sine it doesn't work and isn't generic to the family any more, then the legacy drivers should be reinstated.

So, exactly where is the issue and why have we gone 3 versions without support for a very common and popular wireless chipset? Three versions and hundreds of broken laptops later we're still discussing this? The driver is NOT generic to the whole chipset series. The driver IS broken. The author refuses to make his generic driver generic any more. Rename the damn thing, reinstate the legacy drivers and move on.

Sorry, but all this pussy footing around and breakage for hundreds of users over one asshole's arrogance and everybody's refusal to call him the elitist prick that he is or just ignore him is beyond frustrating.
