[Bug 134660] Re: Ralink rt2400 / rt2500 / rt2570 / rt61 / rt73 do not work out of the box in Gutsy/Hardy

2008-01-26 Thread goodmacman
I have been successfully using one of these cards for a while now and I
think the problems which I experience (much like those others
experience) seem to perhaps be due to overheating. When the adapter
stops working I unplug it and plug it straight back in and most of the
time it kicks back into life. Occasionally it has to cool for a bit
first.

Hope that helps.

[Bug 164300] Edimax wireless network works from live cd but fails after install

2007-11-21 Thread goodmacman
Public bug reported:

Edimax EW-7318USg

I used the live CD to check that all my hardware was supported and it
works great. The only hitch is that my network must broadcast the essid.
I get a working wpa2psk connection every time I use the live CD.

But, every time I install ubuntu and boot into my shiny new system. It
will not connect and I get nothing.

I've tried all kinds of HOWTOs etc to do with Ralink and SerialMonkey
drivers and to be honest I don't understand what the commands are doing
but if I follow them through I end up with a machine that won't boot at
all.

This USB Adapter comes with linux drivers but they are complex as hell
to install from source code etc.

I would like help to fix this bug properly so that future releases of
Ubuntu will support my adapter. Also I know others are using this
adapter.

I have experience as a Java Developer so I'm no idiot but I've not used
linux for some years so back in the days of Mandrake 6 I new my way
around.

If someone will help me then I will do all I can to get this working
rather than chicken out and buy something else.

Thanks,

John

[Bug 164300] useful error message?

2007-11-21 Thread goodmacman
If I install Ubuntu with a wireless connection enabled from the live cd then 
when I reboot I can get this error from the kern.log
phy2 -> rt2500usb_enable_radio: Error - Register initialization failed.

[Bug 144161] Re: Wi-Fi rt73 USB (TP-Link TL-WN321G) doesn't connect

2007-11-22 Thread goodmacman
Well problem is I had this bug and I tried various fixes. In the end I
think it is something to do with the wireless config not the kernel. For
me this bug was fixed by chance.

I had it that if I used the live cd then I'd get a connection but if I
installed then I could not connect.

In fact by chance when I tried to install again my internet connection
went down part way through the install. I  rebooted into my new system
and it all works and has done for a couple of days and through several
reboots.

I suggest that if anyone with some expertise wants to ask for particular
conf files etc I will provide them and we can see why mine now works.

Hope I can be of some help.

John
