Comment 126 for bug 339891

Ok guys here is what needs to happen to get it working properly form the get go, this is caused by the missing RT2860STA.dat file in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/ folder.

Tested it since 8.10 and this is consistent , all i have to do to get it working is create the folder above, copy the file there and restart the interface. we need this file included with the driver by default and everything would work. My guess is that firmware is using it somewhere.

Once you copied the file do
sudo ifconfig ra0 down
sudo rmmod rt2860sta
sudo modprobe rt2860sta
sudo ifconfig ra0 up

this fixes the problem so i gues we just need to include the RT2860sta file with the driver and place it in the directory specified
