Summary0000528: rt2500pci based WiFi card won't initialize
Description

I have an Averatec AV3715-EH1 laptop which includes an Integrated Ralink RT2500 802.11bg wireless adapter.

It worked with Ubuntu 10.04. I upgraded to version 11.something of Ubuntu on this laptop but it broke some part of the display drivers so I was unable to watch any video on it any longer. I bought a tablet shortly after and put the laptop way until deciding recently to rebuild it as a portable security system.

ifconfig and iwconfig show only lo and eth0 but not the WiFi adapter at all.

It shows up in lspci as
00:09.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)

lsmod shows the rt2500pci module is loaded.

grep'ing dmesg shows the following related messages:
[ 27.022147] [<f856af7f>] ? rt2x00lib_prob_dev+0x4e1/0x5bf [rt2x00lib]
[ 27.022221] [<f854673b>] ? rt2x00pci_probe_0x214/0xad9 [rt2x00pci]
[ 27.027332] phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - failed to initialize hw.
[ 27.044135] rt2500pci: probe of 0000:00:09.0 failed with error -22

I can't find anything useful about "error -22" online.

Steps To Reproduce

This is reproducible just by bringing my laptop up with the Kali Linux live CD and watching it fail to bring the WiFi online.

Error -22 comes from the kernel itself (it's in the file include/asm-generic/errno-base.h ) and states that it means invalid argument. What argument is being passed that is invalid, I'm not sure.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
