After a clean install and update of feisty, the module stopped exhibiting the behavior. Since I haven't experienced the issue again yet, I'm changing the status to Invalid.
** Description changed: After last kernel update, the rt2500 wireless card and its module returned to its erroneous state which was present in a fresh install of feisty. I use the card to connect to a home AP which "distributes" access to internet. After the last update, the internet often drops dead, even if the AP is running fine. This is purely the issue of rt2500 module, since I had two machines connected to the AP and browsing the web happily, with the desktop sometimes suddenly dropping dead, even though the iwconfig command states that it is connected with 27 % signal strength. As I wrote, everything was ok till the last kernel update, so the rt2500 module probably ended in an erroneous state after it. Output of "uname -a": Linux Tomahna 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux + + UPDATE: + After clean install of Feisty (because of rt2500 not being able to connect to WPA network in Gutsy Beta), the rt2500 seems to be working again. All updates performed, system is now up-to-date. I'm changing status to Undecided, because the module stopped exhibiting the described behavior. ** Description changed: After last kernel update, the rt2500 wireless card and its module returned to its erroneous state which was present in a fresh install of feisty.
