Comment 73 for bug 34902

Honestly, if the license premits, then I think it would be much better to setup the Restricted Drivers manager to handle this using ndiswrapper. The ndiswrapper drivers tend to work really well for this card. I have this working myself (Linksys WUSB54gv) on feisty and I haven't had a freeze but from dapper to edgy the freezes have come. I haven't used feisty much though so it might also freeze there. My understanding is that once a few thins get worked out this will become part of the upstream kernel. I think it would be wise to wait for that, and simply provide the option for people to have this installed if they have this driver. SO that the people who this works for can use it. And for those whom this driver does not work, they can find a different method. My experiance has had this driver causeing hard freezes.( This driver being the rt2570 driver). It doesn't seem to me that there is an actual deb for this, rather it is built in with the kernel, (or as a module). Why not have it be seperate from the kernel? (If ndiswrapper is not an option that's ok the point of this was to say that this driver doesn't seem to be 100% stable, and should not be built in by default. If it were a deb uninstalling would be much easier.) No offense to anyone intended.
