Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-18
Severity: important
Hi,
Upgrading to 2.6.32-18 more or less breaks support for the RaLink
RT2860: wpasupplicant no longer works very well, I've seen it
not even try to associate to encryption-less APs, not displaying the
list of really available APs (especially name-less,) etc.
Downgrading to linux-image-2.6.32-4-686 (2.6.32-11) makes it work just
fine.

It's not serious enough to fix in oldstable. Thanks for asking.
