I want to try this patch, as I'm having the same WPA/WPA2 problem with Jaunty UNR on my Eee1000. lspci says I'm using the RaLink RT2860 network controller. But following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/339891/comments/35 I opened Synaptic to remove the rt2860-source package, and that isn't installed. Curious, I followed the next step and went to /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/ and, instead of finding an rt2860 directory, I found that I have an rt2870 directory with rt2870sta.ko.

I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to this depth of things, so I'm not sure why lspci says I have RT2860 but /lib/modules/.../staging has rt2870. There's also no package in Synaptic that comes up when I search for either rt2860 or rt2870

So I guess my question is, should these directions still apply to me? If so, how exactly do I go about removing the driver?
