Apologies for this interruption, but I have been trying to get a 'convert's' laptop working on Ubuntu for 3 weeks now. Everything is fine apart from WiFi. He had two cards (one USB and one PCMCIA), I won't bore you with the detail but they do not work with Linux.
To keep him interested (and myself sane) I bought a USB stick with a 148f:2070 chipset. rt2800usb loads but neither Network Manager no WiCd can connect it. I have tried it with Jaunty and Karmic... Jaunty ignores it, Karmic loads rt2800usb and neither work. Seeing as WiFi is so important to connectivity, it is sad that Linux/Ubuntu is soooooo very complicated/impossible on that issue. Needless to say that Windoze$$$ XP worked with all three within 3 minutes of plugging the card/dongle in. If ANYBODY can tell me how to get a 148f:2070 chipset connected with ANYTHING other than Window$ I will donate my body to them on my death... creepy eh? -- please enable rt2800usb and disable rt3070sta in the imx51 kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423767 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
