Thanks for taking the time to submit this report. If your Ralink chip is on a PCI device, please type on terminal "lspci | grep Ethernet" If Ralink chip is on a USB device type "lsusb". Report here all outputs.

Hi,
"lspci | grep Ethernet" only shows my Wired Network Adapter, but "lspci | grep Network" shows me:

Hi mobei,

Is this still an issue for you with the latest 2.6.31-11 kernel? If so, can run the following command from a terminal which should automatically gather and attach kernel debug information to this bug report:

apport-collect -p linux 414373

It looks a lot like two drivers are trying to bind on the same device. Could we get an lspci -nnvv on the current kernel and if possible a dmesg from the .30 kernel which works for comparison with the above. Thanks!

So in 13 days the new ubuntu will be released and my Problem is still there and i can not use my wlan.
I think that it will not be fixed in time for karmic, so i have to use karmic with older kernels :-(
