I've got a strange behaviour this evening: after daily upgrade of Ubuntu Gusty, I tried to connect to my domestic WLAN with WPA encryption (wifi adapter is a Linksys WUSB54GR, based on Ralink RT73 chipset, workink perfectly with Feisty and Enhanced Legacy Driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com), guessing if my device would work "out of the box". I connected to WLAN browsing the web (wired connection unplugged!), but Network Manager didn't show any longer the WLAN in range (before I connected, there were three WLAN in range). I tried to reboot my PC hoping to see all working, but WLAN connection was down, finding these lines in dmesg log:
