Okay, I think there is something I've missed since the beginning with this bug. I just did a full reinstall of Karmic (switching from fakeraid to lvm) and when I first booted on 2.6.31-14-generic... wireless network didn't work, with the exact same symptoms as those I've described here: "requesting firmware" message, visible networks but with always full signal strength bars, etc.
The problem was solved by installing linux-backports-modules-karmic (which depends on linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic). I recall having installed this package on my previous setup (don't remember the reason, though). I also reinstalled linux-rt, and the problem is still present, which is not much of a surprise. And there's no linux-backports-modules package for -rt. Now, I don't know how to act. Should we call this bug "no backported modules for linux-rt", or "<my ralink usb wireless card> does not work without backported modules" ? -- Ralink wifi doesn't work with latest -rt kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436043 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
