Comment 90 for bug 339891

One additional tidbit that may help in the upstream decision: I upgraded my jaunty test partition to karmic and got a working rt2860sta driver "out-of-box" version 1.8.1.1 (kernel 2.6.30-5-generic). Probably best to go with the latest working version from Ralink (2.1.2.0) but nice to know someone has worked out the kinks for 9.10 already. I have no idea if this 1.8.1.1 driver was patched in the karmic distro. Oh, and I'm running on an eeepc 901 (I guess this card is also used on lots of other hardware also, so if this has an impact just be aware. Have only spent a few minutes on this partition so can't speak for how robust this fix is. I hope one of these fixes can get into jaunty updates so others don't have to wait until October.
