Comment 20 for bug 1173759

Same problem. HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 running 13.04 Wifi may connect or may not depending on the router and (I believe) whether the wireless signal is g or n. Running kernel 3.8.0-23-generic and no joy. Connections obtained drop frequently.

- Device: wlan1 ----------------------------------------------------------------
  Type: 802.11 WiFi
  Driver: rt2800pci
  State: disconnected
  Default: no
  HW Address: 1C:3E:84:9B:FD:C0

  Capabilities:

  Wireless Access Points
    XXXXXXX: Infra, 00:06:B1:12:9C:6A, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 39 WPA WPA2

    XXXXXXX: Infra, 00:06:B1:18:ED:59, Freq 2462 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 22 WPA WPA2

If I follow the procedure in #14, I can build the driver, but when I

sudo modprobe -r rt2800pci

my connection goes down as expected. I then

modprobe rt5390sta

and I get nothing...wireless does not even come up.

I also have the problem with the wifi enable/disable button. I cannot use the button to turn the wifi on or off. It's one of those function key buttons (F12).
