 Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2005 3:34 pm Post subject: Wireless with rt2400 driver [Solved] |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a wireless access point with WEP encryption. My wireless card is CNWL-311, which I believe should use the RaLink rt2400 driver. I downloaded the driver from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and installed it. Now i run | Code: | # modprobe rt2400
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
rt2400 79040 0
# iwconfig ra0 essid "My.essid"
# iwconfig ra0 key "my-WEP-key"
# ifconfig ra0 up
# iwconfig ra0
ra0 RT2400PCI ESSID:"essid"

However, I can't seem to find the access point no matter what I do. Is there some configuration I'm missing? Running
just results in a timeout. iwlist ra0 scan just reports the interface doesn't support scanning. I've tried different channels too, without any success.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure WHICH ralink chipset you have. You might need the rt2500 instead of rt2400.
| Code: | | lspci | grep Network |
If you don't have lspci, it's inluded in the ebuild "pciutils"
Some known issues. Make sure none apply to you:
- SMP kernels and processors not supported
- 4k kernel stacks not supported - use 8k kernel stacks
- I've heard that amd64 had problems in the past. Don't know if it's still an issue.
You may try scanning "iwlist ra0 scan" BEFORE setting anything with iwconfig or iwpriv.
Any of that info help? |
