... doesn't work.

No errors, but no networks either.

There's a bug report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785393

Hello, I have similar problem. After updating kernel to the last version, I can't connect to wifi spots. I tried only on wep secured spots. When I try to connect (gnome3 -> network manager), the system repeats ask me for the password. If I boot to the kernel 3.2.1-3 version, everything works fine.

also rt2800 doesn't work. In my case, with 3.2.2 kernel there are few error messages.

Did you try installing the eeprom replacement kernel module linked in the bug report? That fixed it for me, and is going to be part of the next kernel update.
