Drat it...

Updated to 11.04 natty narwhal [seriously, who decides on these names!] and now the wifi driver is about as stable as a Russian nuclear reactor in Japan! Literally, it'll fail every 10 seconds or so, and doesn't always come back up..saying it's connected but not working and then the only options are to either disable/enable the adaptor or reboot completely.

Is anyone else reporting problems with older wifi drivers, [ralink RT61pci in my case] or is it just me..? the docs on the official site aren't too helpful, saying basically, 'sucks to be you' &,' have you tried rebooting?' [serious windows flashbacks here]

For that matter, has anyone found a way to get a Edimax 802.11b/g/n wifi card to work? [which is the other card I have, works fine if I duel boot into windows xp, but Ubuntu I get nada.]
