for a couple of days my ralink rt2790 mini pci express card won't automatically start up the connection at boot anymore. until yesterday I could just open the network center and connect, but now it is impossible to scan networks (no error in GUI displayed, both iw and iwlist produce an error code (I will add this after the next reboot together with a fresh dmesg). the workaround is: rmmod rt2800pci modprobe rt2800pci this enables scanning and bringing up the connection. lspci -v is: 01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp.

oh that's embarassing... I was playing with hostapd, it seems it gets started at boot, no wonder the wlan is not usable as a client at the same time. Still the problem with the connection not coming up despite start on boot is ticked. changed bug title accordingly.
Summary: Ralink rt2800pci stopped working in cauldron around mass rebuild => Ralink rt2800pci WLAN connection is not starting on boot
I tried enabling wpa_supplicant.service: #dmesg |grep wpa [ 13.753646] systemd[1]: Configuration file /usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service is marked executable. Please remove executable permission bits. Proceeding anyway. $ ps ax|grep wpa 645 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -P /run/wpa_supplicant.pid -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf still no connection at bootup... is there anything im missing?

Hi, sorry that this bug was overlooked. Does it work in Mageia 5 RC or latest cauldron?
