My wife's laptop was running fine on kernel 3.10.11-200:

uname -a:
Linux croweflies.the-leveys.us 3.10.11-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 9
13:03:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci -s 03:00.0:
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

rfkill list wlan:
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

I neither had nor needed any additional kernel modules.  However, when I
upgraded kernels:

uname -a:
Linux croweflies.the-leveys.us 3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 27
19:20:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci -s 03:00.0:
03:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe


rfkill list wlan:
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes

Now I've got "asus-wlan" while my original one is listed as "hard
blocked." The problem is that the "asus-wlan" doesn's show as an
available interface, and I cannot connect.  Any suggestions?
