rt2500usb wireless - permanent device not ready

[klosso]

I had wifi + bluetooth module connected thru usb (looks like http://www.komputersklep.com/zd/wifibl/1_wm.jpg)

Wifi card is based on RT2571F
Unfortunatlly is stuck as not ready by NW .
This is really strange becouse it say that is HW blocked (somethings like swith for wifi on laptops was in off position),but there is no any on/off switch on this module .
Of course under win7 it works perfect.

From begining:
ubuntu 10.10 ,kernel

$ uname -r
2.6.35-25-generic

Card is recognise as :

lsusb |grep -i rt
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 148f:2570 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2570 Wireless Adapter

and system load rt2500usb modules for this card

lsmod |grep -i rt
parport_pc             26058  0 
rt2500usb              18049  0

parport                31492  3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp

when I try to up interface it say:

 sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

but there is no way to unblock

$ rfkill list 
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes
$sudo rfkill unblock all
$sudo rfkill unblock 1
$sudo rfkill list 
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

how I can unblock this ?

Of course I read similar threads http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ight=rt2500usb but that was not really helpfull

here is print from lshw

Is there any way to unblock Hard blocked in rfkill
I don't know it is important but firmware=N/A

Hello, I have the same problem with the same card. Did you found some solutions?

[klosso]

Unfortunately no.
It seems that should be some pin to HW switch , but I have only module it self , and don't have clue where to connect this .
For now it's leis in bottom of my shelf full of dust
I you have any luck with this please post here
