Title:
  commands to rt2860sta fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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.
