[Bug 856119] [NEW] Wifi stopped working on 21 Sept '11 update of xubuntu 11.10 beta

 

Public bug reported:

The system is an Averatec 3280 system with Xubuntu beta-1 installed,
updated through 21 sept 2011. Today networking stopped working, but I
was able to get eth0 working by editing /etc/network/interfaces to
provide a fixed address. Then I noticed that the network manager icon
had disappeared from the top panel. After an update and reboot, the icon
reappeared. However I was unable to get wifi working (I do have Enable
Wireless checked, and I do have the wifi button status set - LED lights
up).

The wifi chip is a Ralink corp. RT2500 802.11g (rev 01), and lsmod shows
the driver modules are loaded. This was all working from the time I
installed beta-1 until yesterday.
