Comment 1 John W. Linville 2007-10-22 13:50:13 UTC

Please attach the output of running 'lsusb'.

Also, you may wish to try 'modprobe -r rt2500usb ; modprobe rt73usb' -- there 
is some overlap in USB IDs between the two drivers.  Does that help?

Comment 2 David Nielsen 2007-11-08 13:25:50 UTC

Sorry for the lateness, I decided to wait for a final F8 instead of doing yet
another network install

blacklisting rt2500usb makes me able to connect to the standard open network,
I'm still having considerable problems connecting to the WPA network for this
dmesg reveals that the auth. times out.

Additionally this being my server machine I cannot bring up my network using the
standard magic, it however detects my networks if I use network manager.. this
in return requires me to be logged into GNOME.. but since it's a server machine
no autologin and unlocking the keyring. I suppose there's a solution to such
situations?

Comment 3 John W. Linville 2007-11-09 19:26:35 UTC

Please try these kernels:

   http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23734

Are they working satisfactorily for you?

Closed due to lack of response...
