Description Richard Urmonas 2011-04-06 17:24:57 CEST

With a fresh install of Beta 1 x86_64 a RT3090 wifi card fails to initialize.  This is installed on an Acer Extensa 5220 laptop.

/var/log/messages shows:

Apr  6 08:17:08 localhost kernel: rt2860 0000:04:00.0: firmware file rt3090.bin request failed (-2)
Apr  6 08:17:08 localhost kernel: NICLoadFirmware failed, Status[=0x00000001]
Apr  6 08:17:08 localhost kernel: rt28xx Initialized fail!

The above group of messages are repeated multiple times in the log (more than 100 times!).

Additional information:

The Hardware Configuration shows the Module as rt2860sta.

This card did work with Mandriva, so I searched the Mandriva rpm database and they list an RT3090 module.

I think, i have same problem with RT3070 module.

Problem is that wrong module are enabled ...

For your logs, you're missing the firmware for your rt3090 wifi card. Please put the rt3090.bin file from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=blob_plain;f=rt3090.bin;hb=HEAD into /lib/firmware and try again.
