[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#696662: base: rt2800pci_mcu_status no hardware response due to radio enabled to early

[skx]

Package: base
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Wheezy with firmware-ralink packagesinstalled for network controller RT2790
Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R PCIe network controller results in a [ 26.104901] phy0
-> rt2800pci_mcu_status: error - MCU request failed no response from hardware

This is probably due to the radio being enables to early when the network
controller did not yet wake up as it ralink network controller is confirmed
working in the end. See also my issue described in more detail on the Debian
forum including dmesg and lspci logs and a potential patch from an other distro
which tackles similar issue.

This warning/error only occurs during a cold boot. Rebooting does not result in
same error message as network controller is already woken up.
