[Bug 496093] Re: [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks

[Ricardo Salveti]

I also noticed this bug when I installed the latest Lucid in my eeepc
1000he.

Checking linux mainline, I saw that they updated the driver with almost
40 patches, but the main important one was the update from vendor's
V2.1.0.0 driver, that could possible fix this issue.

Tested with 2.6.34-rc3 and wasn't able to reproduce the problem, so I
decided to backport the driver into lucid's kernel, so I could fix it
and continue using the same kernel, besides the possibility to send the
fixes for lucid.

Today I built a new kernel, based on 2.6.32-19-generic, with the
backported rt2860, and was also unable to reproduce the bug.

Just published the kernel at
http://rsalveti.net/pub/ubuntu/kernel/lucid/

Please, if possible, give it a try and if it works for more people I'll
publish the kernel tree with the backported patches, and will try to
merge it to Lucid.

To install the new kernel, please install the following packages:
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-19_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_all.deb
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-19-generic_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_i386.deb
 * sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic_2.6.32-19.28rsalveti1_i386.deb

Reboot and try to connect.
