There are some problems with the rt2860sta and acpi hotplugging that prevents the driver from being disabled/enabled by Fn+F2 in the preferred way.
May still be doable with ACPI like on hardy but will probably be broken for release.

Cannot be fixed without a new code release from ralink...

Bug description:
I tried 8.04.1. Found a number of problems which forced me back to 8.04.

1) Flaky wireless connection. Sometimes it would connect, sometimes not. Always connected before.
2) Shutdown unreliable from remix. Had to go to a terminal and do a sudo shutdown.
3) Documents didn't display from the file manager. I click on a text doc, hit Display, and nothing happens.
4) Connection via Nokia phone possible but seemed slower than with 8.04.

I do like Remix, the faster boot, and more disk space, but without wireless it was a no-go for the moment
