Current workaround is to set ONBOOT=no in ifcfg-wan0
urpmi rt73-firmware did not help.  :(

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot
2. grep rt2x00lib_request_firmware

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.
Assigned to the package maintainer.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

iirc the rt73-firmware is not for your wlan, maybe try the other ?

Solution: install kernel-firmware-nonfree and rt3090-firmware packages.

Comment 4 Bit Twister 2012-01-29 21:01:05 CET 
installation of kernel-firmware-nonfree and rt3090-firmware packages did not resolve this problem.

My post install script created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no

which prevents the phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error coming out every second. Delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, reboot, and I get:

Jan 29 13:44:46 wb kernel: phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware.

Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2012-04-25 22:44:58 CEST 
Is this one still a problem? I think it could have been down to a timing issue in udev firmware loading which should be fixed for a while.

Do not know if it is just udev. I saw a mysqld start problem which systemd immediately placed it in a high priority loop trying to get it started. That bogged the system down to a crawl until I could could get a systemctl stop mysqld.service issued.

My WAG was lack of firmware causing lots of grief. Solution was to delete wlan0,
create the above ifcfg-wlan0, load kernel-firmware-nonfree, radeon-firmware, rtl8192se-firmware, rt2860-firmware, and rt3090-firmware to get video, nic and wifi cards playing nice with system boot.

I really would hate to have to do another clean install on this "Production" system just to see if udev is fixed since it is about 6 days to Release Candidate.

Because dvd is not going to ship with any of the above firmware I guess you can mark this bug resolved and maybe enter message in errata about users need to get a list of firmware needed for their setup prior to installation, add/enable non-free/tainted repositories and install any needed firmware just after boot.
Comment 7 Olivier Blin 2012-05-02 22:08:10 CEST 
Ralink drivers are now automatically installed by the network tools, as of drakx-net-1.8-1.mga2
