Re: Phantom wireless device

[John Mahoney <jmahoney waav com>]

Ubuntu just pushed new kernels. Did you just pick one up. I got the message two days ago, but have not *rushed* into grabbing them. Maybe a regression?

I've suddenly started getting strange behaviour with my WiFi device. It's appearing twice in the NM applet with different names.

It's actually a RaLink RT2860, but it's additionally being identified as Intel 82801G. Looking in the logs both IDs are device ra0, which is getting NM a bit confused. Sometime it connects, sometimes it fails and hangs. The NM daemon also dies periodically which I suspect is related.

I can't think of any system change that's induced this, it's definitely not related to updating NM. I'm running 0.7.1.git.5.272c6a626-0ubuntu1~nm1~jaunty from Launchpad, and it's been working fine since I installed this version until a few days ago. Re-booting doesn't fix it.

I suspect it may be a udev issue, but I don't know where to look. Any ideas?

Typical extract of the log file is attached, with everything happening twice on ra0.
