[Bug 549801] Re: USB WiFi adapter with rt2870 chipset won't connect

 

Nick, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  USB WiFi adapter with rt2870 chipset won't connect

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hardware:  Rosewell RNX-N1 Wireless N (USB WiFi adapter using a rt2870 chipset).
  Problem:  Device is detected but multiple drivers are being loaded, evidently causing a conflict that makes connecting impossible.
  Version of Ubuntu:  10.04 Beta 1

  More information and a manual fix concerning this problem can be found
  here:

  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342593

  I was able to get this device working correctly by blacklisting the
  following devices:

  blacklist rt2x00usb
  blacklist rt2x00lib
  blacklist rt2800usb

  The reason I am reporting this bug is that this is not consumer friendly behavior.  Not many regular computer users will be able to find the fix, let alone accomplish the fix.
