Just for info - unplugging the usb stick and replugging and restarting networking works for me (/etc/init.d/networking restart).
A simple(ish) work around is to follow the guide on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236 to install the latest serialmonkey drivers (rt73 instead of the packaged rt73usb). Worked first time for me. -- Wireless dies and requires total shutdown rt2x00 usb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
