I noticed that my kernel had changed also, from 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE to 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE. So I went and got kmod-rt3070-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE-2.1.1.0-2.rpm and installed it with RT3070 2.1.1.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm.

With the update (yum update) just later to have had connection with old kernel, rpm package have not been update automatically?

RT3070 2.1.1.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm. updated automatically, but not kmod-rt3070-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE-2.1.1.0-2.rpm. I had to manually update it.

thanks

Reboot with old kernel (at boot select old kernel pressing any arrow key); when connect, remove:

Code:

# rpm -e kmod-rt3070-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE-2.1.1.0-2.rpm

then

Code:

# yum install kmod-rt3070-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE.i686 rt3070

Reboot with new kernel.
