Can't connect with rt2800usb to a wireless N-network

I'm having a prolonged issue with my wireless set-up. First I was experiencing this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27581 . This bug was fixed in the new kernel. No my problem transitioned into this:

Jan 11 03:09:21 localhost NetworkManager[672]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> inactive

Etcetera etcetera

The error has changed, but it still won't connect.

My hardware:
$ lsusb | grep -i wireless

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter

Re: Can't connect with rt2800usb to a wireless N-network

Why do you reference that bug? It cannot have anything to do with that card.
Which driver are you using for it and whats blacklisted?
Does it happen for wireless-n or generally?

edit: I suppose your headline says you are using that driver and that it only happens with N .. missed that

Re: Can't connect with rt2800usb to a wireless N-network

I've found the rt2800usb module to be a bit of a pain and instead use the Ralink drivers, which are excellent; I get my wired speed on wireless.

http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support … php?sn=501

They're easy to compile (the instructions are reasonably clear) - maybe give them a go and see how you get on.

You'd need to blacklist rt2800usb of course and add the relevant module to rc.conf and change the device from wlan0 to ra0 (in wicd or whatever you use to connect to the internet).
