[Bug 1444226] [NEW] [Kubuntu 15.04 beta] can't connect to wifi with Ralink RT2561/RT61 and NetworkManager

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hello.
I have a Ralink with RT2561/RT61 chip:
$ lspci | grep -i network
05:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

In Kubuntu 15.04 my connection is very unstable using NetworkManager.
Most of the time the connection is not established. And very few times
the connection is established but after a few seconds the connection
drops. Unfortunately in this new Kubuntu version if you try to uninstall
"network-manager" then "plasma-desktop" is requested to be uninstalled
(apparently because of "plasma-nm").

WORKAROUND: I installed Wicd from Kubuntu 14.04 using "chroot":
1- Start the system and try not use Network Manager
2- kill network manager
$ sudo pkill -9 NetworkManager
3- Start wicd from "menu" > "internet"
