I wonder if a akmod is available though. And then, I also noticed from dmesg: [...] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=12948 name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=12948 name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=12948 name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=12940 <about 100 more of these...> EXT4-fs (sdb7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode SELinux: initialized (dev sdb7, type ext4), uses xattr [...] Perhaps the above is unrelated to this post - something to do with hard drive itself (... and it is brand-new) So, all in all, rt2870 module does not load. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
