dmesg from kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7.x86_64
How 'bout with kernel-2.6.22.1-20.fc7.x86_64? I believe it contains some updated wireless bits over 3228. I'd rather you try this one, if you don't mind: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=11320 kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7 didn't fix it. It also seems to also have broken the r8169 driver and gave me a new error message for my IDE controller. Created attachment 159530 [details]

kernel-2.6.22.1-20.fc7 does not detect networks either. Created attachment 159539 [details]

Looks like the driver is getting loaded. Can you attach the output of 'iwlist wlan0 scan'? Have you tried disabling NetworkManager and configuring the network manually? I tested both 2.6.22.1-20.fc7 and 2.6.22.1-22.fc7 both with NetworkManager enabled and with it disabled. I got the following results from all four tests: wlan0 No scan results Under 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 I get "Scan completed" and a list of cells. By 2.6.22.1-22.fc7 I mean 2.6.22.1-27.fc7. I have the same problem with a rt2500usb. Works fine in 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7, but
does not work in 2.6.22.1-27.fc7>
2.6.21: iwlist wlan0 scan:
wlan0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:14:BF:72:E2:C9
ESSID:"Skjernaa"
....
2.6.22: iwlist wlan0 scan:
wlan0 No scan results
I upload dmesg from the two kernels (note the first added attachment from above
(from 2007-07-18 00:04 EST) is incorrectly named - it is from a
2.6.21-1.3255.fc7.x86_64, where the problem already was present)

Lots of rt2x00 fixes lately...have you tried 2.6.22.1-41.fc7? Still does not work woth 2.6.22.1-41.fc7. My card is a Surecom EP-9001-g (USB). 2.6.22.9-91.fc7: iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results Created attachment 228171 [details]

2.6.22.9-91.fc7:
iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
Have you tried using rt73usb instead of rt2500usb? There is some overlap between the supported devices. I replaced rt2500pci with rt73usb in modprobe.conf and it still loads rt2500pci. Removing rt2500pci causes a kernel panic. Add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist rt2500pci Then reboot. Does that make a difference? wmaster0 and wlan0 no longer appear and I get no such device from system-config-network when I try to probe the MAC address. Would you mind testing these F8-based kernels? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=203296 Do they improve the situation for you? I get an error message from RPM: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-28.wl.1.fc8/kernel/fs/fat/fat.ko;4720bcf3: cpio: read Must be a bad download...try again? w00t -- the network at work was mangling downloads. Redownloaded at home no problem. 2.6.23.1-28.wl.1.fc8.x86_64 works 2.6.23.1-35.fc8.x86_64 doesn't I do note that with 2.6.23.1-28.wl.1.fc8.x86_64, I connected at 11 Mbps. iwlist shows speeds of 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps, but is opening up at low speeds (1 and 11 Mbps so far) under 2.6.23.1-28.wl.1.fc8.x86_64. That is working as intended. It starts slow, then works its way faster if it can. Conditions such as RF propogation and noise can affect the maximum available speeds. Thanks for the report. I'm not sure if these fixes will make it in before F-8 ships, but they should at least be an early update. You might want to try these kernels if you want some of the more recent non-wireless updates: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=215849 Please try these kernels: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23734 Are they working satisfactorily for you? Closed due to lack of response. Please reopen if/when the requested information becomes available...thanks! |
