** Description changed: SUMMARY UPDATE: This bug touches on two different drivers for the same hardware. The in kernel, preferred rt2800pci and the rt2860sta from staging (which linux wireless developers are not happy with, but is needed where the rt2800pci does not yet work): In maverick the rt2800pci driver (rt2x00 project) is the default driver for this hardware. This driver also works in ad hoc mode. This works well on 32 bit. On 64 bit this driver does not work because of the 64bit-only bug 659143 (load_firmware: Error). If that bug were fixed ad hoc would hopefully work as well for 64bit and _for_this_particular_hardware nothing more would have to be done. - The default driver for lucid for this hardware was rt2860sta (version 1.8.1.1) from staging, which could do ad hoc. In maverick rt2860sta (version 2.1.0.0) is included and can be used by blacklisting the default rt2800pci. Maverick's version of the rt2860sta fails in ad hoc mode. I have compiled the latest GPL driver ralink provides on their website. It is version 2.4.0.0 and works well in ad hoc mode. + The default driver for lucid for this hardware was rt2860sta (version 1.8.1.1) from staging, which could do ad hoc.

REFERENCES: The version of the rt2860sta driver can by found in drivers/staging/rt2860/rt_linux.h #define STA_DRIVER_VERSION statement. (With WPA it did not work in lucid either. Connecting to a router in infrastructure mode with WPA works well.)
