Description Stefan Parviainen 2012-01-29 06:11:28 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading to kernel 3.2.2-1.fc16.I686 my Ralink RT 2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g card no longer seems to work. The interface does not appear in either NetworkManager or the output of ifconfig.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Rebooting does not help. Have only tested on one computer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to kernel 3.2.2-1.fc16.i686
2. Open NetworkManager

Actual results:

No wireless interface is found

Expected results:
A corresponding wireless interface should be displayed

Additional info:
Lsmod shows that the rt61pci module is loaded

Same thing happens to me on Asus EEEpc 901. I have to use the previous kernel 3.1.9-1.fc16.i686 to get wireless to work again.I don't know what the module in lsmod to look for though.

Comment 2 Stanislaw Gruszka 2012-01-30 14:34:34 UTC
Most likely this is problem with not loading eeprom module properly (bug 785393),
please check this build:

Comment 3 Stefan Parviainen 2012-01-30 18:24:55 UTC
The build mentioned above solves the problem.

Comment 4 Mario Ganz 2012-01-31 09:34:45 UTC
I have the same problem only with my rt2800pci card.
And my dmesg promted this error:
phy0 -> rt2800_init_eeprom: Error - invalid RF chipset 0x0 detected
rt2800pci 0000:01:08.0: PCI INT A disabled

I will try if the kernel mentioned above solves the problem.

This kernel:

solves the problem.
