Great. So this bug is already fixed in oneiric. With the possible exception of the interference issue at the moment - you say you have to blacklist the rt2870sta. I looked up the staging directory in the new kernel 3.0 (what would have been 2.6.40 if Linus hadn't gone and renamed it :-) ). What I found was that there are no more Ralink staging drivers in 3.0 since this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=fefecc6989b4b24276797270c0e229c07be02ad3 >staging: rt2860sta and rt2870sta: Remove drivers replaced in net/wireless > >The staging driver rt2860sta is replaced by mainline driver rt2800pci, and >rt2870sta is replaced by rt2800usb. As a result, the staging drivers are >deleted. This will automatically take care of any interference issue in oneiric once it switches to 3.0. What remains to be considered is how to fix this for everyone in natty (and possibly users of linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless in maverick and lucid). From what I see a SRU (stable release update) should be considered for linux-firmware, replacing the rt2870bin (md5: e4b60f5bb4980a26cbac32be690451d6) with the /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin (md5: 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9) from linux-firmware 1.53 which is already in oneiric. ** Changed in: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762987 Title: RT2870 WLAN Stick (D-Link DWA 140) not working. firmware does not support detected chipset -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
