Fixing rt73 WiFi Support in Fedora 7

Following on from my previous post on setting up the rt73 based Belkin USB WiFi dongle on Fedora Core 6 I finally got round to upgrading to Fedora 7.

When the whole lot fell over!!

After a few hours (check the post time) fighting and Googling I finally found a forum post from IvD of serialmonkey detailing a bug in Fedora 7 relating to rt2500 drivers (which are related to rt73 drivers) and explaining how the rt2x00 support in Fedora 7 is a bit flaky, and that you should disable (he suggests delete) the rt2x00 modules and go back to the legacy ones built from source.

I did this and it worked great.

Simply add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to disable the buggy rt2x00 support: 

# Disable rt2x00 WiFi cards in Fedora 7 so we can use the rt73 drivers from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com
# see http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=23981

blacklist rt2x00
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt61pci
blacklist rt73usb
blacklist rt2400pci
blacklist rt2500pci
blacklist rt2500usb

Then follow the previous Fedora Core 6 instructions and you're sorted :)

People at high school are willing to reach the high grade and they purchase the already written essay about this good topic from the essay writing service, but from time to time they just search for the outcomes just about writing essays.
