[SOLVED] 2.6.34 wont work with RT2860 Wireless Cards
I tested the 2.6.34 packages from testing and seen that i can´t use my Wireless Card anymore......
i was not able to find the reasong becease every module was loading fine and it works flawless in 2.6.33 but neither wpa_supplicant (via CLI) nor NetworkManager was able to find something or even connect
SOLVED: linux-firmware, which contains the needed firmware for rt2860, replaces kernel26-firmware

Don't forget to also blacklist rt2800{pci,lib,usb} and rt2x00{lib,usb} modules (basically anything that start with rt2800 and rt2x00) and make sure that module rt2860sta is loaded.

It looks like the firmware is missing. Could you check if rt2860.bin is in your /lib/firmware directory? Trying reinstalling linux-firmware package again might help.
Oh, and don't load rt2800pci/usb/whatever. The driver in 2.6.34 kernel doesn't work.

linux-firmware is a new package that contain additional firmware files that was not included with the kernel. Mostly proprietary stuffs with restricted license (like our rt2860.bin firmware).
It replaces kernel26-firmware, so just install linux-firmware and your wireless should work again (just make sure you use rt2860sta driver).
