I've suddenly started getting strange behaviour with my WiFi device. It's
appearing twice in the NM applet with different names.
It's actually a RaLink RT2860, but it's additionally being identified as
Intel 82801G. Looking in the logs both IDs are device ra0, which is getting
NM a bit confused. Sometime it connects, sometimes it fails and hangs. The
NM daemon also dies periodically which I suspect is related.
I can't think of any system change that's induced this, it's definitely not
related to updating NM. I'm running
0.7.1.git.5.272c6a626-0ubuntu1~nm1~jaunty from Launchpad, and it's been
working fine since I installed this version until a few days ago.
Re-booting doesn't fix it.
I suspect it may be a udev issue, but I don't know where to look. Any ideas?
Typical extract of the log file is attached, with everything happening
twice on ra0.
