Hi guys, i have a MSI U160DX with the infamous RT3090 shutdown/restart
problem. Im a total linux noob, but with your help I was able to
shutdown/restart and continue to use my wifi! thanks!
here's what i did (which is basically what everyone else said already
with a slight twist)
go to terminal and type:
lspci -k
I saw that kernal modules being used were: RT2860STA, RT2800PCI
so then I typed:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
add this to the end of the file and save:
# blacklist other Ralink modules in favour of 3090 DKMS mod
#blacklist rt2860sta
blacklist rt2870sta
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2800usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00usb
then everything just magically worked!
---------------------
afterthoughts:
---------------------
oh, you can see that the difference was that I added the # on the blacklist
rt2860sta. I did that because I did not want that entry to be blacklisted. I
would think that the rt2800pci blacklisted would enough without all the other
stuff, but that only left me stuck with a black screen when shutting down or
restarting.
I hope this helps...
