Title:
  old and faulty rt2860sta [The self compiled rt2860sta works.]

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Expired
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This report concerns the Gigabyte AirCruiser N300 GN-WB31N-RH,  with a
  Ralink RT2870 chip set. The problem seems to concern several other
  devices with this chipset as well, considering all the different
  guides I've come across while trying to make it work. There is several
  reports concerning this chip set here on launchpad, but it's still an
  issue, an issue that should be an easy fix for maverick.

  I'm running lucid (kernel 2.6.32-24 generic).

  First of all the current driver in the kernel is old. The latest
  driver (v2.4.0.1) can be downloaded here:
  http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2

  Second, the driver is not set up to allow WPA encryption by default.
  This can be easily fixed by editing the two lines concerning this in
  the file /os/linux/config.mk (in the downloaded driver folder) before
  running make/make install. WPA is very common and should be activated
  by default.

  Third. My device is apparently recognized as another chip set, and
  ubuntu loads the rt2800usb driver instead of the correct rt2870sta.
  I've had to blacklist rt2800usb to make it load the right driver.

  Fourth. My device is not included in the device list
  (/common/rtusb_dev_id.c) for the new driver. The lsusb command gives
  this information on my Gigabyte device: ID 1044:800c Chu Yuen
  Enterprise Co., Ltd

  Bug report #632187 concerns the same Gigabyte usb device on the same
  kernel, but does not mention the blacklisting rt2800 issue. In my
  experience the problem can not be solved without blacklisting the
  rt2800 driver.

  A quick search here at launchpad indicates that there is other devices
  missing in the device list as well.

  In short by, blacklsiting the rt2800 driver, editing the device list and activating WPA, i got it to work.
