Comment 5 for bug 456977

I am also seeing this kind of message, on Lucid beta-1 with updates through today:

Jan 12 11:32:10 eros kernel: [ 9953.780029] phy0 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16).
Jan 12 11:32:23 eros kernel: [ 9966.280047] phy0 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16).
Jan 12 11:32:25 eros kernel: [ 9968.052049] phy0 -> rt2500pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 1 (-16).

I just have to press the wifi button to turn on the internal rt2500 card, and the messages start appearing in kern.log.

This is on my Averatec 3280 laptop with

Ubuntu version and kernel version
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu lucid (development branch)"
Linux eros 2.6.32-10-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 7 17:38:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
model name : Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+

The rt2500 internal card seems to function Ok, though I haven't really done any speed tests since observing these messages.

Also, I can plug in a Netgear WG511T card in the pci slot, and it functions normally (where the pci slot failed to function under Karmic - see Bug 436341).
