Description of problem: Cannot activate ALFA AWUS051NH usb wireless adapter


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


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mageia beta
2.Do updates  (e.g. to 3.8.3 kernel)
3.Plug in adapter


Get the following error in journalctl:

kernel: phy1->rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request firmware

Config:  Toshiba satellite L875D-S7232 laptop.  AMD chips w/ builtin radeon graphics.   kernel 3.8.3-desktop-1.mga3, x86-64  KDE desktop

Adapter works on another box running Mint, and had worked on this box when running Fedora 18. I didn't test it right after installing Mageia beta 3, so I don't know if the original kernal worked with it or not.  I'll check if I get a chance. 

I don't know if this is worth making a high priority -- this is an old adapter card.  However, it's what I use when the onboard adapter breaks (as happened -- bug 9424) 

I'll back out to the original disk installation and see if it works with the 3.8.1 kernel.
