Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 435591
RT2500 wireless - kernel 2.6.24.3-13.fc8 - scans, but cannot find networks
Last modified: 2008-03-05 14:44:17 EST
Description of problem: I updated from kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 to kernel 2.6.24.3-13.fc8 The new kernels seem to be solving the problem I filed on bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427456 The link led flashes during scanning and, I presume, it would probably flash during transmission. Unfortunately the device does not manage to detect any wireless networks (even if wireless router is less than 50cm from it). If I start my computer selecting kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8, then the wireless works, but I have the usual problem that the link led does not flash. Let me know if you need more info. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.24.3-13.fc8
Are you perhaps looking for a .11a access point? If so, there is a patch in 2.6.24.3-15.fc8 that might be helpful. Otherwise, hopefully Ivo has some insight. :-)
I have just installed 2.6.24.3-17.fc8 No luck !!! Link led works, but no network detected, therefore no connection. My router is a 3Com 3CRWDR100A-72 I can confirm again that if I start my computer selecting kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8, then the wireless works, but I have the usual problem with the link led not flashing.
kernel - 2.6.24.3-18.fc8.i686 and still no luck. The card is a Gigabyte GN-WMKG I have noticed that sometimes, with the new kernels, it does start. I get the following errors: Mar 5 18:30:35 localhost kernel: rt2x00pci -> rt2x00pci_alloc_reg: Error - Failed to allocate registers. Mar 5 18:29:26 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled Mar 5 18:29:26 localhost kernel: rt2500pci: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -12 I do not have such a problem with kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8
Sorry I meant "it is not loaded"
