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

[Ricardo Salveti]

They should first work to get the driver upstream, and this has nothing
to do with Ubuntu itself.

What I saw is that there is a community effort to improve the quality of
the driver, to then be able to push it at Linus' tree. At the moment
this driver is located at the staging, and it's older than the vendor's
one.

The problem that happened at this bug is that the driver for 2.6.32 is
broken, but fixed for 2.6.33. For Lucid, they decided to push 2.6.32 as
default, without backporting the updates for this driver.

This can be fixed by backporting the driver or adding the latest version
of the driver at the backported package.
