RT2860 in Fedora 12 with EEEPC 100H not working


Hello,

Below is my question :

  • Target : to make wifi card working on EEPC 1000H
  • Problem : RT2860 card is not working
  • Question : how to make it works? what are the next steps ?

Steps :

1. Fresh installation of Fedora 12 from USB keys + remote FTP server : installation is ok

2. Update the system :
Code:
yum update
3. Add repository :
Code:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
4. Add the RT2860 :
Code:
yum install rt2860
At this step installation process seems ok for the card, i.e. no error message

5. When ifconfig : no RT2860 card appears

6. Install lshw :
Code:
yum install lshw
7. lshw result :

Code:

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

lsmode does not show anything about the RT2860.

Can you please tell me how to use modprobe ?
