System offers kernel-firmware-20100227-4.1 to install. Nice. (Less nice that is does not recommend replug or reboot afterwards.) After replug: firmware: requesting rt3070.bin usb 1-4: firmware file rt3070.bin request failed (-2) rt28xx Initialized fail! Well, rt3070.bin does not exist (and did never exist). OK. Let's try ln -s /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt3070.bin and replug again: usb 1-4: firmware: requesting rt3070.bin usb 1-4: firmware file rt3070.bin is too old; driver requires v17 or later rt28xx Initialized fail! OK, let's go to http://www.ralink.com.tw/support.php?s=2 and download "Firmware RT28XX/RT30XX USB series (RT2870/RT2770/RT3572/RT3070)", unpack, rename rt2870.bin to rt3070.bin, install to /lib/firmware and replug again. Now it works! (And in difference to 11.2, scanning works as well and there is no crash after 30 seconds.) Proposed fix: Install the latest firmware. Either symlink rt2870.bin as rt3070.bin or change kernel to request rt2870.bin for RT3070. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
