Description Bastien Nocera 2008-10-22 13:21:07 UTC

kernel-2.6.27.3-34.rc1.fc10.x86_64
rt73usb-firmware-1.8-4.noarch

Same symptoms as bug 437085. It's also a Belkin 54G dongle.

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:705a Belkin Components F5D7050A Wireless Adapter

I made sure the rt2500usb driver (which claims the same USB ID) wasn't loaded.

Comment 1 John W. Linville 2008-10-22 15:12:00 UTC

Same symptoms == lockdep spew?  Or just the lack of an association?

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-10-22 15:28:29 UTC

The lack of association. Sorry for not being clear.

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2008-10-22 16:17:35 UTC

I just tested another device with the p54usb driver, and had the same problem associating to my AP. Scanning works as well, but unlike the rt73 device, I never had it working.

Could be a mac80211 problem?

Comment 4 John W. Linville 2008-10-23 17:54:59 UTC

Can you attach the contents of /var/log/message?

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2008-10-23 22:12:47 UTC

The only bits related to the device are:
Oct 22 12:47:54 cookie kernel: Registered led device: rt73usb-phy1:radio
Oct 22 12:47:54 cookie kernel: Registered led device: rt73usb-phy1:assoc
Oct 22 12:47:54 cookie kernel: Registered led device: rt73usb-phy1:quality
Oct 22 12:47:54 cookie kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73usb
Oct 22 12:48:48 cookie kernel: firmware: requesting rt73.bin

Nothing else I'm afraid.

Comment 6 John W. Linville 2008-10-24 14:36:08 UTC

Are you using NetworkManager?  I see no signs of an attempted association.

Comment 7 John W. Linville 2008-10-28 15:34:16 UTC

Also, what channel is your AP on?  You may need to configure a module option for non-US usage.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 04:07:10 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
