Description of problem: After updating the kernel to version 3.2.2, the wireless card (rt61pci) has stopped working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-PAE-3.2.2-1.fc16.i686 - rt61pci-firmware-1.2-8.fc15.noarch How reproducible: In every system startup. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade to Kernel 3.2.2-1 2.Reboot. 3.Error messages: phy0 -> rt61pci_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RF chipset detected. phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate device. Actual results: The wireless card (rt61pci) has stopped working. No wireless connection. Expected results: Fix the bug to return to work the wireless card. Additional info: The package rt61pci-firmware-1.2-8.fc15.noarch installed correctly. In older 3.2.2-1 kernel everything works fine.
It also doesn't work on 64-bit kernel: kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64.

Updating the kernel 3.2.3-2 everything is okay again. Bug closed.
