Ditto here running an HP laptop. lspci report is 02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 5390 Wireless is OK with kernel 3.1.5-6. I also have the same issue. All worked fine until upgrade, now after boot wifi light is amber, and device is not seen. Pressing wifi button has no effect. I have to reboot into kernel-3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64 to get my wifi back. Device Details (truncated for brevity): 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:5390] Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1636] ... ... ... Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci Kernel modules: rt2800pci If you need further details please ask... This is a known bug. It is a regression and is being worked on as far as I can tell. The original bug, which is now re-opened is Bug #720594. Not sure this is simply a regression, the headers for rt2800pci (rt2800pci.h) are in the previous kernels (3.1.5-2 & 3.1.5-6) but not in the newer kernel (3.1.6-1). Again... following the other bug (#720594) on this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 720594 *** |
Since upgrading to kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 my wireless card no longer works. It all works fine in kernel-3.1.5-6.fc16.x86_64 and earlier. My card uses the rt2800pci driver and lspci reports it as: 02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 539f I cannot see any error messages when booting kernel 3.1.6.1 that indicates why it is failing to start. But when booting into 3.1.5.6 (where the wireless works fine) I am getting the following in the logs: phy0 -> rt2800pci_mcu_status: Error - MCU request failed, no response from hardware
