Using Ubuntu 12.04

After about 5 to 10 minutes of transferring files over rsync, my computer locks up completely. It happens everytime. The syslog repeats the error below dozens of times. 

kernel: [33172.840297] phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x308c with error -110.

Some websites suggested to fix the problem by replacing the file /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin with a newer version. I replaced the file, but I continued to get the same errors. The newer version I tried has this md5sum:
36c944c3138125605d28c0a3a1338be9

If it helps, here is the output of lsusb | grep RT

# lsusb | grep RT
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter

Here is the output of lsmod | grep rt

I'm trying to stop my computer from locking up from these errors.

  • I see that the question is quite old and I don't know if I can help, but maybe someone will stumble on this and be saved :) I have a Ralink/Mediatek Nano USB Wi-Fi dongle. Its Linux driver is bugged and won't work on a 64-bit system. At first, after installing the kernel module (driver), everything looks OK. You can even connect to a network. But when any network traffic attempts to move through the Wi-Fi the system gets kernel panic and freezes. I've tried to change th – butla Apr 25 '14 at 20:45
  • I eventually ended up using a eth cable. If I ever try this again I will install 32bit system. Good thanks. :) – Rucent88 Apr 26 '14 at 04:53
