10:09 a.m.
Seems that the kernel/NetworkManager no longer
can load the rt2870sta module. I tried:
# dmesg
usb 1-4: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=14b2, idProduct=3c27

# lsmod | grep ra
(nothing)
# modprobe rt2870
FATAL: Module rt2870 not found.
# yum reinstall rt2870 kmod-rt2870
(then checked again, nothing has changed)
I checked everything else, the network-scripts and so on
and the configurations seems intact...
So how can I get my connection back?

Can yo tell us exactly how many kernels yo have installed?
rpm -q kernel
will tell you all kernel versions installed.
Why don't stick to having one and only one kernel installed and booted
in order to move forward so when you yum install a kmod module, it
will be for the correct kernel??
Otherwise you will be spinning your wheels for a long time.
I keep at least 3 kernels on hand in cases if there is a problem with
the latest kernel for any reason, such as in this case when I booted
to the previous version and noted that rt2870 was still working.
... and the problem is now solved by installing akmod.

Where in blazes did you get and boot kernel-2.4 FOR F13????
Your system or yum repo files must be so totally hozed!!!
Huh? Are you reading this post correctly? This is RMPFusion's
way of managing packages and there is a thread about it.
My latest kernel is: 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686
Anyway - the problem is SOLVED!
I used akmod-rt2870 and it auto-compiles to the latest kernel,
and requires a reboot.
My wireless connection is baaaaaaaack! :P

Notice my previous post, seems that the .ko module needs
to be compatible with the latest version, as the one I am using
is for a previous kernel version - I think this is the culprit.
I think I will need to wait for RMPFusion to generate a new
package or there may me the option to use akmod, dunno.

# depmod -ae
WARNING: -e needs -E or -F
Interestingly, the -E option is not listed in the man pages
So I just did:
# depmod -a
I also removed and reinstalled the kernel, rebooted, same problem - does
not work
I noticed there is something weird from the dmesg, particularly with:
rt2870sta: version magic '2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 SMP mod_unload 686
' should be '2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 SMP mod_unload 686'
So it appears that I need a new .ko module and perhaps RPMFusion does not
have it yet and perhaps because they have not caught up to the new kernel...
I wonder if a akmod is available though.
And then, I also noticed from dmesg:
[...]

name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:07, inode=12948

Perhaps the above is unrelated to this post - something to do with hard

do a su -c "depmod -ae" .
If that does not help uninstall kernel you are having problems with and
try to yum update and reinstall new kernel.
I have had this problem with a few Fedora kernels on different boxes.
# depmod -ae

So, what do you get when you type
rpm -q rt2870 kmod-rt2870
also, what is the output of
iwconfig wlan0

Ok, I rebooted and went back to the previous
kernel
and I was able to get my rt2870 connections, so it
appears that there is something missing in the /lib/modules
for the latest kernel.
The previous kernel is: 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686
The broken(latest) kernel is: 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686
In the previous kernel update, what was missing was:
/lib/modules/2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686/extra/rt2870/rt2870sta.ko
so, I rsync'ed the rt2870 directory from an earlier installation,
rebooted, and it worked for the above case. But unfortunately,
the latest kernel update does not work in the same way.
Seems to me there is an inconsistency somewhere, and perhaps
this is an issue with RPMFusion's implementation of the rt2870
installation package in which it fails to install the rt2870sta.ko
package which is completely missing?
As it is, I cannot use the latest kernel update until this issue is
resolved...
