I did some testing today. Sorry for the delay. I noticed that rt2800usb actually occasionally works on Natty with rt2870sta blacklisted. I did need to remove an reinsert the usb DWL-G122 rev.E USB stick a few times to get the net actually up, and the connection seems less stable than with rt2870sta. Output of Wolfgang's commands:
DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 7f55011396eff4983f26bb7dd7339fb3 /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin e4b60f5bb4980a26cbac32be690451d6 /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin filename: /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.ko firmware: rt2870.bin srcversion: 52008801035C9FD38B91EC7 I then tried the 1.52~lp762987v201106061858 firmware: DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 75a1da3caa0b1c95e81dfba207f834c6 /lib/firmware/rt2860.bin 36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9 /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin filename: /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.ko firmware: rt2870.bin srcversion: 52008801035C9FD38B91EC7 I did not notice any particular differences to the normal 1.52 firmware. It still takes a few tryings to get the net up, ssh is laggy and network radio streaming keeps breaking. Some random ping statistics with iwconfig wlan1 power on 248 packets transmitted, 248 received, +8 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 247332ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.282/69.985/2035.413/290.045 ms, pipe 3 and iwconfig wlan1 power off 196 packets transmitted, 195 received, +3 duplicates, 0% packet loss, time 195217ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.993/714.880/4044.836/1125.013 ms, pipe 5 (something near 4 ms seems typical for power on and a bit over 1 ms for power off, when pings are stable for a moment). I also quickly tried the 32bit Oneiric live image. I didn't need to remove the usb stick to get the net up, but I think ping gave about the same results as with Natty, although I'm afraid I didn't take note of them anywhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779932 Title: wireless usb DWL-G122 (rev.E) not working with rt2800usb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/779932/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
