["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Rasmussen, 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-v3.12-rc3

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:
  commands to rt2860sta fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  distro: ubuntu 9.04
  hardware: asus eee 901
  driver: rt2860sta
  wicd: 1.5.9

  When connection to an AP wicd sends this command sequence:
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Putting interface up...
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ifconfig ra0 up
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG', 'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F']
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: Running DHCP
  2009/09/27 20:56:16 :: /sbin/dhclient ra0

  Apparently the command iwconfig ra0 mode Managed fails making all
  subsequent commands to the driver fail. This means the connection
  cannot be made. On the other hand skipping iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
  and going directly to ['iwconfig', 'ra0', 'essid', 'kastrupBG',
  'channel', '7', 'ap', '00:20:A6:56:58:5F'] has the expected result, a
  connection is established.
