I have the same problem using Ubuntu 8.10 beta 1, with a Ralink PCI card and a RT73USB driver.
The connection breaks after some times of internet uses. It depends of the quantity of data you exchange : if you do a ftp with a 1.3 Mo/s rate it will break sooner. I'm a using a 2.6.27-4-generic kernel. I have tried with other linux distributions, and I had the same problem. With a Mandriva I have dumped those lines in messages log : *Sep 20 20:10:04 localhost kernel: phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 2. Sep 20 20:10:04 localhost kernel: Please file bug report to http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.* It seems to be a regression in the kernel : http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/189864466d6ed5f4/5189422969b027b8?lnk=raot -- Ralink rt73 hangs with 2.6.24-21 and requires reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
