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

Gaurish Sharma, 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 (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. 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

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:
  Ralink RT2860[1814:0781] Wireless card worked in 10.10, stopped
  working in 12.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in openSUSE:
  New

Bug description:
  Till Now,
  I was running Ubuntu 10.10 & Today, I have installed 12.04 & my wifi stopped working. It was a fresh install(not a upgrade). Wireless gets detected as RT2790 & show available network but doesn't not connect to any wireless network(tried secured & unsecured) for some strange reason.

  here is the lspci outout from Ubuntu 10.10 where my wireless card was
  working:

  01:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2860
      Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 130f
      Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
      Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
      Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 4 bytes
      Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16
      Region 0: Memory at fd9f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
      Capabilities: <access denied>
      Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
      Kernel modules: rt2860sta, rt2800pci

  you can find the lspci output of 12.04 where the same card doesn't
  work as attachment. Interesting thing to notice here is: the same card
  gets detected as two different chipsets(RT2790 vs RT2860)

  the Wireless card in question here is: Asus PCE-N10 Wireless PCI
  Express
  Adapter(http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/PCEN10/) with
  device id:  [1814:0781].  I think chipset in this card is RT2860(not
  RT2790). I further suspect this wrong detection in Ubuntu 12.04 is the
  reason that it doesn't connect/work.

  So, Please let me know if my suspicion is correct? If yes, then what I
  need to do to fix this mess & get my wireless card working in Ubuntu
  12.04?
