Description of problem: r8712u.ko is missing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kmod-staging-3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do yum update, getting new kernel-3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64 and kmod-staging-3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64.x86_64 2. On reboot, see that wireless interface is gone. 3. Actual results: r8712u.ko module is no longer available Expected results: r8712u.ko module must be available Additional info: For those of us with an RNX-N180UBE usb wireless adapter as the only means of connecting to the network, the r8712u driver module is a necessity. It has worked well over the past several kernel releases, and on this basis I've bought several more of these good quality 802.11-n devices. Suddenly this essential driver is gone and I'm incommunicado. # l /lib/modules 3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64/ 3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64/ 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64/ # find /lib/modules -name "r8712u*" /lib/modules/3.3.6-3.fc16.x86_64/extra/staging/r8712u.ko /lib/modules/3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64/extra/staging/r8712u.ko but nothing in 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64/ so the 3.4.2-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel cannot be used. Please tell me this was a simple oversight, and r8712u.ko will be restored ASAP.
