Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 issues with Ralink RT2800 PCI loses connection

Weird... I tried just now and saw the same error.
I've uploaded my local copy of the wireless driver for you here temporarily.

That's the one I have that I used in my original solution post. Let me know if this helps.

I think i got the same problem with the extraction and i think i concluded that it was mislabelled as a bz2-file even though it weren't. Extract with "tar -xvf filename" and it should work.

neilhuang: YOU ARE THE MAN !!!

One of my friend helped me with the ralink driver: he actually decompressed the file with 7zip, under windoze...

Once I had the driver, I followed your instructions: the instability problem with the WIFI N mode was fixed instantly !! And to my surprise, I also noted that the quality of the wireless link greatly improved after I installed the RT2860STA module. Before, the maximum link quality I was getting was 50% and now I am almost all the time at 96% ! Impressive !!

Thanks a lot for your help !!!
