Comment 8 for bug 661682

Hi Thomas,

it has been quite a few month. Do you still see this issue?

As far as the wlan driver is concerned your hardware should now definitely work with the rt2800pci driver. I do not know about the status of the platform driver issue.

Please install the most up to date version of firmware for the rt2800pci driver from:
http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp762987/linux-firmware_1.52~lp762987v201106061858_all.deb
as long as the task of updating the linux-firmware in your ubuntu version to this new firmware is not "fix released" (see bug 762987).

For natty I recommend to use the kernel still in natty-proposed.
For maverick and lucid I recommend to use the newest available linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless.

You may have to blacklist the rt2860sta staging driver if it interferes with the operation of the rt2800pci. Let me know if you have to do this.

Let me know whether or not everything works for you with those new rt2800pci drivers and firmware.
