Both suffer from problems with rt2500/rt2570 modules not being able to associate with access points. There are numerous problems reported Ubuntu Launchpad, Gentoo Forums and Sabayon Forums. Please, Linux kernel developers, try to help out the guys at: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ They look pretty clueless and don't know exactly what to do. It seems that advances in kernel to Wireless Extensions 19 broke their efforts somewhat. If possible, speed up the inclusion process of the driver into mainline kernel, so users won't have to be forced to do a hardware upgrade. Additionally, this problem prevents my machines from being upgraded from Ubuntu 6.10 (kernel 2.6.17) to Ubuntu 7.04 (kernel 2.6.20 I believe).
