Ok, I rebooted and went back to the previous kernel and I was able to get my rt2870 connections, so it appears that there is something missing in the /lib/modules for the latest kernel. The previous kernel is: 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 The broken(latest) kernel is: 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 In the previous kernel update, what was missing was: /lib/modules/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko so, I rsync'ed the rt2870 directory from an earlier installation, rebooted, and it worked for the above case. But unfortunately, the latest kernel update does not work in the same way. Seems to me there is an inconsistency somewhere, and perhaps this is an issue with RPMFusion's implementation of the rt2870 installation package in which it fails to install the rt2870sta.ko package which is completely missing? As it is, I cannot use the latest kernel update until this issue is resolved... -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
