Hi,
I have Linksys WMP600N dual-band PCI adapter (rt2800pci) which used to
work, but now 5GHz is not working. Router is ok, since my laptop can
connect 5GHz.
I tried 3.10 and 3.12 kernels (that I compiled myself) and many distros
(both live and regular install), and they all exhibit the same problem.
When attempt is made to connect 5GHz, I get:

This is a sign that the card is failing?

Update:
It seems that my driver and/or the router don't like certain
combination of channel and its width.
- channel=36 and width=20/40MHz works -- I now remember this was
what worked before.
- channel=44 and channel=165 don't work at all.
- most other channels (didn't try all) work for width=40MHz only.
So, I'm now using channel=161 and width=40MHz.
