Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
rt2870sta module has stopped working correctly after updating kernel from
2.6.29 (version 2.6.29-5, which works without issues) to 2.6.30
(version 2.6.30-1).
Of course, it is not able to find networks with iwlist, nor connect with
iwconfig and certain functions (like ifconfig ra0 down) freezes the system
completely (although it accepts alt+sysrq+reisub).
I found this post on ArchLinux forums describing the situation and a possible
solution http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73964
In my case, the affected device is a SMCWUSBS-N2.
