Description Don Levey 2013-11-13 22:15:45 UTC
(Fedora 19)

My wife's laptop was running fine on kernel 3.10.11-200:

uname -a:
Linux laptop.example.com 3.10.11-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 9
13:03:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci -s 03:00.0:
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

rfkill list wlan:
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

I neither had nor needed any additional kernel modules.  However, when I
upgraded kernels:

uname -a:
Linux laptop.example.com 3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 27
19:20:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci -s 03:00.0:
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe


rfkill list wlan:
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes

Now I've got "asus-wlan" while my original one is listed as "hard
blocked." The problem is that the "asus-wlan" doesn't show as an
available interface, and I cannot connect.

This probably should be handled in the Fedora bugzilla first?
Comment 2 Don Levey 2013-11-14 15:00:45 UTC
Quite possible; the Fedora User's List (users@lists.fedoraproject.org) did suggest I file it here.  I can go there if it is more appropriate.
Comment 3 Szőgyényi Gábor 2016-11-09 19:40:04 UTC
Please try this bug with latest kernel image.
Comment 4 Don Levey 2016-11-10 02:52:57 UTC
That laptop, after three years, is no longer accessible.
Comment 5 Stanislaw Gruszka 2017-02-18 13:04:54 UTC
Closing per comment 4.
