/var/log/messages from today where i first start 2.6.32 and than start 2.6.31.6
to remember. In 2.6.31.6 my W-Lan works, in 2.6.32 not
I found that there is also an closed source driver which i mean here is the driver which is directly distributed with the kernel source I asked in Forums and talked with lot of other people and it seems that nobody can use his RT2860 Wireless Card New info. This seems only to happen with Wireless Encrypten of Mixed WPA/WPA2 WPA or WPA-2 only or other encryptions and unencrypted seems to work fine After upgradeing to 2.6.32 there is no interface at all for me (neither ra0 nor wlan0). Downgradeing to 2.6.31.6 works just fine. Please notify if you need any logs/outputs. Same problem on Mandriva cooker for my MSI U100 netbook with kernel-desktop (actually 2.6.32.4-0.rc1.1mnb2) Please ask if you need log/trace/outputs I've got a rt2870 (details below). The non-staging rt2870 once worked for me, but under 2.6.30 only the staging driver did. I use wpa_supplicant.
I couldn't get the thing to work under 2.6.32.2; It constantly listed my network and said it wouldn't connect to it. (WPA2 btw.) Also, it required me to add the 3070 firmware and /etc/Wireless/RT3070STA stuff, which i figured is somehow inadequate.
As a final measure, it got myself a git copy of the kernel, and did:
cd drivers/staging
git checkout v2.6.30 rt[23]*
Since then I'm a happy 2.6.32.2 user. It's a ra0 again, but it works like a charm.

I can confirm that on my Archlinux laptop running kernel26-2.6.32.5 it is working again with WPA2. Interface is now named wlan0. Have this just high severety or blocking beceause no network is something that blocks^^ Ok with 2.6.33 the situation got even worse. Now no networking works anymore in anyway with this wireless interface im really sorry, i take all back. It was the fault of the Kernel package maintainer so i build the kernel myself and all seems to work quite fine |
