Comment 30 for bug 1019561

Hi Fabien,

Thank you for your patience and understanding here. Indeed the request you've made is for a small configuration change and thus the extra testing of mainline kernels and apport collect information wasn't entirely necessary in this case. Just for some extra background information, our typical kernel configuration policy is to disable options marked EXPERIMENTAL until a request such as this has been made to justify enabling it. This is the reason both of the config options you've noted were disabled:

config RT2800USB_RT35XX
        bool "rt2800usb - Include support for rt35xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on EXPERIMENTAL
        default y
        ---help---
          This adds support for rt35xx wireless chipset family to the
          rt2800usb driver.
          Supported chips: RT3572

config RT2800USB_RT53XX
       bool "rt2800usb - Include support for rt53xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
       depends on EXPERIMENTAL
       ---help---
         This adds support for rt53xx wireless chipset family to the
         rt2800usb driver.
         Supported chips: RT5370

I'll follow up and post a test kernel with both of these options enabled in the Quantal kernel for now. We'll want to get testing and confirmation for the changes in the Quantal development kernel before this will be considered for SRU (stable release update) for Precise. I'll try and get the test kernel posted here by end of day. Thanks again for your time and reporting this issue.
