OK, for those of you that followed this thread all the way down to here looking for how to fix the problem...
Here is how I fixed it. I created a new file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2500usb.conf with the following content ------------------------------------------------ # For whatever reason, the rt2500usb and rt73usb drivers are both # getting loaded. To stop this situation, stop the rt2500usb driver # from loading (Ubuntu: #396417) blacklist rt2500usb ------------------------------------------------ All is well on reboot Thanks for the help guys -- Edimax Wireless USB Dongle Failure Karmic Kernel 2.6.31-X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396417 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
