Ralink Fedora

I'm having the same problem, however the solution above is not working. Upon checking the log file I see this

Quote:

ieee80211 phy0: rt2800pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 4 (-5)

I don't think that is some NetworkManager issue.

Upon running /sbin/lspci -nnk|grep '\[02' -A3 here's the result:

Kindly enlighten me with meaning of the log message.

The wifi was working after fresh install of fedora 25, it stop working after dnf update and then reboot. Please help, thanks in advance!

Hmmm...related to a possible kernel update perhaps? Does completely shutting down the laptop help with this?

Pulled posts from other thread. Not really similar issues.

Oh well, after 12 hours and 6 coffee making this thing work, the shutting down fixed the wifi problem. Glad I shut it down before going to bed. Thank you ferarri! your response make a good coffee in the morning

.. Any idea why this happened?

I can only speculate that only power-cycling clears registers (in the wireless device) and allows the updated driver to reinitialise, reload firmware, and interact with the hardware properly. Anyway, glad to have been of help.
