Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the below lines to it…
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib

sometimes this one line is enough
blacklist rt2800pci

reboot your computer

djemos,

If I knew your address I would come by and kiss you (male or female)! I have been baffled by a similar problem on my MSI Wind U200 which also uses the RT2860STA module. I couldn't understand why it had worked in the past (using a different distribution) yet stopped working with later kernels.

Oh what a joy it is to again be able to connect to my wireless access point in my home. It makes such a difference to be able to roam instead of being stuck in the one room.

Again - thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

Edit: (Iforgot to mention exactly what method I used to solve the problem).

I followed the instructions above to blacklist all the specified kernel modules. I then rebooted my PC, logged in and clicked on the wicd icon in the system tray. wicd scanned for wireless networks and discovered my home's wireless access point. I clicked on the [Connect] button for that wireless network and was told that it had encryption enabled. I then entered the WPA2 pre-shared key and when I again clicked on [Connect] wicd connected successfully.

blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib

sometimes this one line is enough
blacklist rt2800pci

reboot your computer
blacklist.conf make the change, but the laptop still freezes T_T

the last time you install the card, instead of applying all the patches, just apply the patch for the. config driver installation.

no longer do, thanks in advance
