Bug Description

Wireless cards using the RaLink RT61 chipset don't work with the 2.6.17-10-generic kernel distributed with Edgy. Neither the native drivers nor ndiswrapper with Win drivers succeed. Wireless config typical shows two wireless connections wlan0 and wmaster0, neither of which can connect.

See ubuntuforums post:

for several examples.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
