Public bug reported:
os:Ubuntu Gutsy Latest updates as of12:20 AM mt time on 10/13/07
uname:Linux ion 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 06:00:47 GMT 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
System Specs:
3.0 ghz Pentium 4 Hyperthread
768 meg ram
HDD:plenty of space, specs/usb ports work perfectly for any other os..
USB ID: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components
Problem in detail:
I am also unable to use the rt73: Belkin F5D7050 v 3002 with ubuntu Gutsy
Gibbon Beta, and The RC and all current updates. I am unable to connect to any
wifi networks but I am able to scan. I have everything configured correctly
and the same as feisty.. Note: Feisty did not work out of the box with the rt73
either... In Feisty I had to blacklist the ubuntu modules and run the
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz version of the driver to
get wpa and wep to work properly. NOW in Gutsy wpa enabled causes a complete
system lockup...
I noticed "wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
00-17-3F-C5-BF-91-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 " in ifconfig with wlan0 and I
also noticed the rt73usb.ko driver loads up rt2x00 drivers which are
uncompatible and is creating a driver conflict:
lsmod | grep rt shows that these two drivers are loading even though they are
blacklisted in "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"
rt2x00lib.ko
rt2x00usb.ko
I have blacklisted drivers because normally without any blacklists every ralink
driver is loaded in "/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/"
which is a big problem.... And hasnt been fixed for over a year...
Here are the results after I have actually renamed the conflicted drivers which
seem to be a dependency of rt73usb:
WARNING: Could not open
'/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00lib.ko': No such
file or directory
WARNING: Could not open
'/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00usb.ko': No such
file or directory
FATAL: Error inserting rt73usb
(/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
As u see rt73usb is depending on a conflicting driver that makes wmaster0 and
wont allow connections with wlan0....
Note: Ubuntu rt73 drivers are flawed!
Note: I have reason to believe that 050d:705a usb id is loading up in other
drivers which dont support the rt73 chipset.. someone overlooked it and has
left it go for quite a while...
I will attach some logs if it helps, I and many other users are unable to take
advantage of Ubuntu's Wireless capabilities because of this issue, it is
greatly unforunate that this problem has not been resolved when other much
crappier operating system's like pclinuxos runs rt73 out of the box...
I am willing to supply as much time and effort as needed to help resolve this
issue. Please let me know what debug outputs and information is needed.
