It happens exactly the same here with the same card. I can configure it perfectly well if I introduce the ESSID manually.

Sometimes it comes back on its own, other times I have to deactivate and reactivate the card on the network configuration or by console. -- RaLink rt2500 wireless card not seeing networks in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/64334 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
