Bug#567212: rt73usb with 2.6.32-trunk kernel



Package: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686
Version: 2.6.32-5
Debian Squeeze

I use Edimax EW-7318USg  usb wifi adapter with rt73 chipset  - i use default rt73usb driver that is built in kernel and standard firmware from non-free repository package: firmware-ralink (0.22)  - on new 2.6.32 trunk kernel, connection is very unstable - i can connect to my access point but i get disconnected periodicly in about 6 to 10 seconds and get connected again afer about 4 seconds. This process repeats itself continously. I use WPAPSK autentication TKIP encryption in managed mode - with wpa_supplicant - encryption works but i guess becouse of such frequent disconnetions dhclient can't get IP and i can't connect to internet.

On previous 2.6.30 kernel and same configuration, everything works fine and connection is stable.

scanning with iwlist works on both kernels but on 2.6.32-trunk takes 2 times longer.

I assume that problem is some collision in kernel modules or in driver.

best regards
Dawid
