My WiFi "RT3090 Wireless 802.11n" now works with kernel-3.3.5 and/or some associated other updates.

I have reported a specific problem with Mageia 3 10727 so I think that a problem is lurking here.

We should never have requirement to reboot when we attach to an unencrypted Wi-Fi. So I am unconvinced that the problem is solved. I am on kernel 3.8.13.4 Certainly if we are attaching to a single Wi-Fi access point there is not a problem except in that a re-boot is required - why?
