Hi All,

I've just installed F10 on a eeepc1000h, all works fine except for the rt2860, the module is correctly loaded and I can connect to my AP..but after 15/20 seconds the network disconnect, then try to reconnect after few seconds asking again the credentials...
any I've tried to compile the module from source and also use the package from rpmfusion but nothing to do...
I've a USB wireless device that works very well (real plug&play!) even if the signal is not solid...

Anyone with the same issue?
I've forgotten something?

With F9 the this wifi cards works great...

Thanks in advance...

Sorry I cant think of anything to suggest, but for what its worth, my eeepc 1000H has no problems with its wifi using the rpmfusion rt2860 module. When using fedora 10 beta it wasn't so stable, but since Fedora 10 was released and I've updated, its been rock solid.

Can you tell me exactly which kernel you have?
After the installation and first upgrade I've 2 kernel images one of these contain "PAE"...

Well im not using PAE kernels. All of these below have had working wifi, im currently using kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 and having no problems.

kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10.i686
kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
kernel-2.6.27.5-113.fc10.i686

The problem is not the kernel neither the module...
After installed F10 and first to add the rpmfusion repository, I've installed the rt2860 module from source with make & make install...
This procedure create also a RT2860STA.dat file in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/.
This is a configuration file for control the module behaviour if you don't use the NetworkManager and if you want a permanently module...
I've removed the module just compiled with "make uninstall" but I've forgot to do "rm -rf /etc/Wireless".
With NetworkManager this file is useless and causes conflicts (I believe also a bigger power consumption).
disconnecting continuously the network....
Now I have a stable and solid 54 Mb/sec wi-fi connection....

Thanks and sorry for the rumours...:D
