Today I saw 2.6.38 in the testing repository and I upgraded to the latest kernel. Now the RT2870 no longer works. Is this a common issue that needs to be worked out with the testing repos and this USB adapter? Or do I have to recompile something? I of course have the mintwifi installed too.
I went back to 2.6.35 and it worked like it always has. I tried to reinstall ndiswrapper and mintwifi and here is what I got:
