Duh. The reason for the above is that the staging driver rt2860sta had bound to the hardware. And rt2860sta does not support power management setting via iwconfig (it needs iwpriv). Hence the error message. After incapacitating the rt2860sta module (by renaming it) rt2800pci took over and power management setting via iwconfig worked for both compat- wireless and this kernels inbuilt rt2800pci.
Timothy, could you check again while making sure rt2860sta does not interfere (blacklist or rename it). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769504 Title: RT3090 Internal Wi-fi Stability/Connectivity Issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/769504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
