Description of problem:
WiFi networks are not available with rt2800pci driver with kernel-4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64. Works as expected with kernel-4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64.

Comment 1 Ben Cotton 2016-08-08 00:58:31 UTC

Update: I'm now seeing the same behavior on the 4.6.3-300 kernel, so I'm inclined to believe it wasn't the update at all. Interestingly, WiFi works if I suspend and resume the laptop or if I power off and back on. It stops working if I reboot (this is true for all versions). I thought I had been careful about that when making my initial report, but perhaps not.

So it doesn't seem to be related to the kernel update itself. It's not clear to me what would cause this behavior suddenly, as I've been running Fedora on this machine for three years.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************
 
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 24 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 24 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-200.fc24.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 25.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 4 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2017-07-17 11:31:39 UTC

Works with the 4.11.9-300 kernel in Fedora 26.
