bug wifi rt61 gutsy

I can confirm this bug. The rc80211_simple module refuses to load because of the missing symbols. I'll try to revert to an older kernel, but without wlan this could prove difficult :-(

always the same with new kernel update

I've the same problem with chipset RT73 with my Linksys WUSB54GC. The problem appear the update of kernel 2.6.22-12. That made approximately a week.

dmesg command :

Thank you for the great system!

Hello!!

The problem was solved yesterday for me with the wpasupplicant's update.

For me it's not solved...

After the wpasupplicant's update, I can see the Wireless network, but when I select one (the mine or an another) ==> freez !

I had the same problem, and had been working round by building and installing the rt61 driver from the rt2x00 project:

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

however, with today's Gutsy 7.10 beta, I seem to have working wireless networking, even with the errors in dmesg as above, and without the manual driver build and install. My card is a Sitecom WL171

I can confirm this issue in Gutsy Beta, brought up to date today.
  If I try to connect mine laptop, the whole system hangs and the computer needs a hardreboot.
he only functions with ethernet normal with wire.

lspci: 00:0d.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g

this happened in the 7.04, but it stopped to give error when the package linux-386.deb installed.
But in the 7.10 this does not solve nothing.

sorry for my poor english I am Brazilian

I have the same error as above. The wireless card is a dlink dwl-g630. It used the rt61 module in fiesty.
I can get the network to work by manually changing the /etc/network/interfaces file to read

iface wlan0 inet static #using a static address
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
pre-up iwconfig wlan0
wireless-key s:your password for wep key (ascii)
wireless-essid your network essid name
auto wlan0

But it will not start up automatically when starting the computer. I need to go into network settings and untick and then tick the wireless connection to work.

This what dmesg is showing

Hi, I have fixed my problem.
First, I must state that I upgraded from feisty. It was not a new installation.
I deleted the directory .gconf/system/networking from my home directory. This is what seemed to be causing the problem.
And then make sure the /etc/network/interfaces file has

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface wlan0 inet static #using a static address
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wireless-key s:your password for wep key (ascii)
wireless-essid your network essid name
auto wlan0

You still get the rc80211_simple errors as above in dmesg but the ra61pci module is still loaded.

Later that I brought up to date the Gutsy today Beta, for kernel 2.6.22-13-generic #1 SMP, wireless this functioning correctly and did not stop more so far.
But some information, as speed, is not available.
Already laptop gives to use mine perfectly!

I have rt61, and network manager detects the wireless network, but won't let me log in to it.

Bug with unknown symbol is still here. But I can connect using network manager, and connect to lauchpad through this connection.

There also is a problem with phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request (see bug #139070 too).

I'm also getting this with lspci:
Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI

I have change the /etc/network/interfaces file as above, but I still have to disable/enable the connection from within System Settings.

This card was working fine with Kubuntu 7.04.

Have tried using Knetworkmanager, but that doesn't seem to connect automatically.

I had the similar problem with this driver, but could connect to the internet if I waited for about 1 minute after logging into Gutsy, DNS was not finding the website.

I followed the instruction to build new drivers located here

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61

and can now connect to the network without errors reported and the DNS result is returned with having to wait.

Changing back to RT61 and the problem returns.

I have also noticed that boot time is slower with the newly complied driver.

I have managed to get the rt61 drivers working on one computer by installing the module from serialmonkey, but I can't get it to work on another computer even though I've followed exactly the same procedure. Any ideas?

i have the same issue as above

although the warnings and errors the
wireless internet works fine :-)

BUT !!!
occasionally the system reset instantly when i'm accessing the network.
and i get an instant reboot :-(
not sure if it's connected to the wireless driver ???!!!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux-source-2.6.22.

The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release will be coming out soon. It would be great if you could test with this new release and verify if this issue still exists. I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is available. Thanks!

I have try on hardy alpha2. I have a OvisLink EVO-W54USB v2 usb dongle (148f:2573).
The driver is in linux-image-2.6.24-2 package (not ubuntu restricted module as in gutsy).

I need rt73usb to use my hardware. As for gutsy, rt2500usb is loaded but is not necessary (but that's not a trouble).
I can connect to my AP (WPA) using NM. I can load google, but it works for few kb only. After about 1Mb, it stop working. It stay connected to AP but I can't ping my AP.

Per the kernel team's bug policy, please attach the following information:

* uname -a > uname-a.log
* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment. For more information regarding the kernel team bug policy, please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.

I'm opened a new task against the actively developed kernel and am closing the report against linux-source-2.6.22. Thanks!

Having the same problem, or rather some simillar problems, with Belkin Wireless G NB Card FSD7010. Can browse networks but not cnnection to any and all fails, also popping the card out hangs the system. strangely enough on the night I installed the driver, everything worked but after reboot problems started, and ndiswrapper -lreports using an "alternate driver". I am sure that it didn't say that before the reboot.

to update the last post

ndiswrapper -l
rt61 : driver installed
        device (1814:0301) present (alternate driver: rt61pci)

After I installed ndiswrapper, and the drivers but before the first reboot the system was using rt61 driver and everything worked fine, I was able to select a network and connect, use firefox and pop out the card all with no problems. but after first reboot the system decided to use alternate driver rt61pci. Because things started to go bad when the alternate driver was used I am inclined to think that it is the cause. I am not sure how to make the system use the one I installed and ignore the alternate...

to clarify last post, rt61pci is the right driver. I was able to get the card up and going again, by a forced uninstall and then reinstall, specifically

rm -rf /etc/ndiswrapper/rt61/
sudo ndiswrapper -i /windows-drivers/rt61.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -ma

And the card works. Here is what dmesg reports after pop the card in

[ 1640.744000] pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0

now lets see if it works after reboot....

appending to last post, still working after reboot. Forced uninstall followed by reinstall seems to have resolved issues.

Thanks for the updates Santana. Just for future reference, for the files requested by the kernel team if you could attach them separately to the bug report rather than as a tarball that would be much appreciated. After looking at your files, it appears they are from the older Gutsy release. Care to try running the newer Hardy Heron Alpha2 release? It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. Please attach the requested files (as separate attachments) for the newer Hardy Alpha2 release. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 . Thanks!

so is there any solution for 2.6.22-14-generic kernel users or do we really have to wait for 8.04 release where this might be fixed (i really don't want to install alpha/beta system to my sisters first Linux box) ?

I have this problem too on Ubuntu 7.10. Errror message:
