Description of problem: I put message here but I don't know is better to manage it from a separated bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810678 I installed Fedora 18 on my netbook and the AR9285 doesn't work after the kernel update, from 3.6.10-PAE to 3.9.6-PAE. My netbook is a MS-N014. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. At first the wireless card works correctly. 2. After updating the kernel, the wireless card only works if I switch on the computer with the wireless activated from keyboard. Additional info: When I stop and start again the network service I have these messages.

First, if you think the kernel update caused the problem why you didn't file the bug against kernel? Second, 'network' is a legacy service. But again if you choose to use it intentionally instead of NetworkManager, why do you file against NetworkManager. As you indicate the kernel is the problem can you provide more detailed information? 1) kernel info $ rpm -q kernel or $ uname -a 2) Wireless driver $ lspci -vv | grep -A 10 Network $ nmcli -f general dev list iface 3) rfkill state $ rfkill list try what happens with the states if you toggle the wi-fi button several times. 4) output of dmesg 5) for debugging NetworkManager please attach /var/log/manager And, could you elaborate more what you mean by "wireless doesn't work"? (can't connect (how?), connection is not reliable, .... )
