rt2800 used instead of rt2860sta

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the release candidate kernel versus the daily build. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

It looks like rt2860 driver causes some kernel panic :

Nicolas, the rt2800 seems to cause the kernel panic, not the rt2860sta.
See post #42: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502/comments/42

Joseph, the latest kernel doesn't solve the problem. I tested it in another asus eeepc (not mine) and the problem persists. The correct driver is not used.

Some details of the bug are incorrect. It seems I posted the bug from my main computer and not from the actual Asus EEEPC 901... The 901 is not amd64 :). If other information is needed, please ask.

@cuby,

It would be great if you could run the following on the computer having the issue:

apport-collect 868225

Joseph, Sorry for the delay.
I updated the driver in both eee pcs I have access. If I do apport-collect over there it will give misleading informations.
Do you want that information anyway?
I don't know if some of the other affected fellows can do this...

cuby,

It would be helpful to still get the apport-collect data, so it can help find duplicate bugs to this issue.

Any progress on this?

This problem still with suspend and resume still exists for me in a fresh install of 11.10

With the above kernel from oneiric-proposed (3.0.0-15.25) rt2800 is still used, but from initial testing it looks like the connection is stable and no kernel panic occurs. I will report back after further testing.

No panic occurred since I switched to that kernel, but the intermittent connection issues are still a problem.

After a recent clean install of ubuntu 12.04 amd64 on my system i now have this error.
Constant disconnections and flakyness, and i get no message of connection being lost.

Didn't have any problem before, probably because of correct driver getting loaded.

An install of driver rt2860 as listed in the following post resolved the problem.

Wireless card is a Linksys wmp600n.

I have the same disconnections problem.

cuby, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
