| ok, ndiswrapper is even worse than the original ralink driver. must the driver from windows be configured with all parameters when i tell ndiswrapper to use it? iwconfig shows me no ap, no ssid, simply nothin! ill try the original ralink-linux-driver again... |

| YEAH, now it works fine! i ever installed the beta1 version of rt61. dont know why. with the beta2 everything works. only installed the driver and modified the configurationfile /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat. and in /etc/conf.d/net i deactivated iwconfig and wpa_supplicant. |

I recently reinstalled my gentoo back on my hard drive.
I have built a 2.6.23-rc1 kernel.
as it was said before in this post : CONFIG_NET_RADIO is no longer in .config
the two different packages for rt61 in portage are still looking for this variable.
I managed to build my rt61 module, using the daily cvs build of the rt61 source module.
| Code: |
cd /tmp/
wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz
tar -zxvf rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz
cd rt61-cvs-2007*/Module
make
make install
depmod -a
modprobe rt61
|
You should have your firmwares in this directory
| Code: |
localhost # ls -al /lib/firmware/
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 29 16:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 30 14:37 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Jul 29 16:13 rt2561.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Jul 29 16:13 rt2561s.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Jul 29 16:13 rt2661.bin
|
Test your card:
| Code: |
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
|
You should see your access point 
In the README , you find this :
| Quote: |
MANUAL CONFIG:
1. Set the interface mode and bring it up
# iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
# ifconfig wlan0 up
2. Set your target network / Access Point
If you just want to join a wireless network, set its ESSID:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid <ESSID>
If you want to associate with a specific AP, set its MAC
address:
# iwconfig wlan0 ap <BSSID>
3. Set encryption if needed
a) WEP (802.11b)
Choose the authentication mode (open/restricted):
# iwconfig wlan0 key open
Or:
# iwconfig wlan0 key restricted
Set the encryption key:
# iwconfig wlan0 key <KEY>
b) WPA (802.11g)
Set the authentication mode:
# iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
Set the encryption key:
# iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=<KEY>
Set the encryption type:
# iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
c) WPA2 (802.11i)
Set the authentication mode:
# iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK
Set the encryption key:
# iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=<KEY>
Set the encryption type:
# iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=AES
|
I called this script from my /etc/conf.d/local.start :
I use WPA with PSK
#cat wifi.sh
| Quote: |
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 down
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid MySSID
/sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
/sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=MyPassPhrase
/sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
/sbin/dhclient wlan0

Wireless is working (RT61PCI) with my modified ebuild (rt2x00-9999).
I can have WEP encryption, but WPA isn't working.
My wireless network is recognized correctly.
It's set up with WPA with
Cypher suite: TKIP
Authentication: Pre-shared Key
Pre-shared key type: Passphrase (32 characters)
Group Key Re_Keying: Per 86400 Seconds
Method of foudebassan:
I get iwpriv set is not supported:
| Code: | # /sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
Invalid command : set
# /sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=MyPassPhrase
Invalid command : set
# /sbin/iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
Invalid command : set
|
In latest versions of rt2x00, /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat is not supported anymore.
Are there any ebuild available for rt61 cvs version and for patched wpa_supplicant ?
I hate installing manually as this is a pain in the neck for uninstalling and upgrading...

I just got my Belkin F5D7000 vers.6000 working with the RaLink reference drivers in 2.6.22-gentoo-r5... I'll have to admit, those drivers suck... royally. Well, the configuration seems pretty screwed up, I was forced to use the config file that gets loaded upon insmod, since
iwconfig ra0 essid wapname
does not appear to take. If I subsequently check what the ssid was set to, it would always return blank.
I guess I should take a look at the serialmonkey version...

I was waiting for the driver for a while. Last month neither of the drivers worked on my SMP: ALL drivers were hanging my machine literally. ALL OF THEM: Serialmonkey (both legacy and non-legacy from CVS), RaLink driver 1.0.4, Gentoo driver 1.0.4...
I took my version 1.1.0.0 from RaLink and it works! If you a DIY guy then just run "make" in the "Module" directory...
Following are the steps how you can manually check if it works. Note: I shut down my eth0 since it is connected to the same router (temporary while I was waiting for a working driver), hence same network.

Next step is check how well wireless scripts/configs work...
To moderator: sorry if it is too lengthy. |
This worked for me too after 2 weeks of scratching my head. Could not get this card working, i even considered giving up and buying a different card until it occurred to me to try a different kernel - this card is not (as far as i can see) supported by the 2.6.23-r3 kernel.. I had no luck until i downgraded to 2.6.21. I believe 2.6.22 works too.
2.6.24 is said to have a better set of wireless drivers... ill give it a try when its available thru portage.
I used the rt61 1.1.0 Beta 2 CVS drivers (emerge rt61, not ralink-rt61), worked for me...
Thanks! |

Hi,
Thank you all of you for your help.
Thanks to you, it works for me.
I have a D-Link DWL-G510
lspci gives me :
| Code: |
02:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
|
I emerged ralink-rt61
ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.ra0
edit /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_ra0=( "dhcp" )
postup() {
if [ ra0 == ${IFACE} ]; then
ifconfig ra0 mtu 1300
fi
}
modules=( "!iwconfig" "!wpa_supplicant" ) |
I modify /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat
and change the SSID and the channel (I don't use encryption)
rmmod rt61
/etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
And the dhcp works magically
Thank you all of you.

I talked too fast.
It works, but not really correctly :
When I boot the machine, all is up but the ra0 cannot get an address from the dhcp.
What I have to do is to stop the interface, unload the rt61 module (that is loaded by udev I guess), restart the interface and all is fine.
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/net.ra0 stop
rmmod rt61
/etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
|
How can I solve this problem by avoiding the module to be loaded before the interface starts ?
Thank you for your ideas.

Ok, it does not seem to be the module problem, but ifplugd.
Actually, I un-install ifplugd (an utility that detect if the cable is up or down on wired interfaces and run the /etc/init.d/net.xxx start if the cable is detected) because it believed that the cable (...) was down on the ra0 interface, and stop the interface.
Now, all is correct.

I've seen the bug listed here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222375 but have no idea how to apply the Makefile.6 patch.
Any help appreciated |

I can get my card running with the in-kernel modules and copying the firmware from the ralink tar to /lib/firmware all the lights pop up my only problem is my whole network is running on wpa2, so when i try and connect i just get the messages "WEP key is not set for "ESSID 1,2,3"" etc.. i'm gonna have a play with it see if i can get it running or i will have to reconfig my whole network just for one card,
it's a shame since i brought it from linux emporium after checking if it could work with wpa2 |

Hi, I'm brand new to Gentoo so go easy on me (I've used Fedora for the last three years or so) .
I have a wireless card which has the ra61 chipset and it worked out of the box in Fedora 9 with WPA-SPK encryption using kernel 2.6.25 which I am also using with Gentoo, thyerefore I am thinking that I may not need to compile drivers at all. The card is recognised by iwconfig as shown below.
| Code: |
lambert Module # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
|
I tried installing them using portage anyway and got the following error, I couldn't find any other post with this problem, anyone have any ideas?
| Code: |

and Xeonman9000 be aware there are 2 different sets of rt61 drivers , one from Ralink and the other from the rt2x00 group
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
rt2x00 are the current in kernel drivers which work well for AP access.
However, if you need Adhoc or Turbo and or Mimo functions the ralink drivers are the way to go, as far as i know rt2x00 dont support these functions yet.
Xeonman, also, as you have a late kernel the ralink package you chose wont also compile thats why I modified the ebuild in a previous post, it maybe better just to setup the in kernel ones that appear almost setup from your "iwconfig" you posted but its up to you.
anyway good luck whichever way you choose.

OK, thanks a lot rufnut, I didn't realise that rt2x00 was a driver for my card. I am still unsure how to configure it for use with a WPA-SPK router. It seems that wpa_supplicant is best for this, though I don't think it supports the driver for my card.
Does anyone have any ideas? I would have thought that the encryption would be a standard thing not reliant on the card's drivers. |

No worries xeonman9000.
The encryption you want should work on all the drivers I dont think thats the problem, the setting up can be a bit tricky.
You could try adding the ebuild a few post above as it has WPA settings in a configuration file /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat when installed :
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
Just remember if you do add an ebuild that its wise not to have both drivers on your system. (you may have to delete one set of modules)
Also the naming must be right as rt2x00 now refer to the device as wlan0 and ralink refer to it as ra0.
All is well documented in both sets of drivers. |

I'm trying to get my Linksys PCI adapter (ralink-rt2561) working on my desktop and I just cannot compile any of the drivers. This is getting incredibly frusterating. I've tried the ebuilds on the bugzilla for the ralink-rt61 drivers, which don't work. I've tried the above rt2500 drivers, they also fail to compile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
With the ralink-rt61:

Personally, for a pci card in a desktop, the rt61 driver included in the kernel runs fine.
Perhaps should you try this option ?

You can download it from ralink web site, in the support part :
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
Choose the firware that match your board
Normally, in the error message you received, it tells you were to unzip the firmware
(I don't remember by heart)

I finally managed to get my EW-7128g (rt61 chipset) card (+WPA2) working.
Here is how I did it. I'm using the built-in driver inside the kernel (2.6.25-gentoo-r7).
Activate these following items inside the kernel config.
| Code: | CONFIG_MAC80211=y
CONFIG_RT2X00=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_PCI=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_FIRMWARE=y
CONFIG_RT61PCI=m |
RT2X00 & RT61PCI would stay hidden unless you enable CONFIG_MAC80211.
Compile the kernel, and add rt61pci into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, or you can activate the module manually by using modprobe rt61pci.
Download the latest firmware from ralink website. Put all three .bin files inside /lib/firmware.
Restart your PC, and don't forget to boot into the new kernel.
Next, emerge wpa_supplicant (it is required if you are trying to access WPA2 network).
Insert these following lines into /etc/conf.d/net. (I assume that you are attempting to connect to WPA2 Personal network with TKIP encryption.)
| Code: | modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="Dwext"
config_YourSSID=( "dhcp" )
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15 |
Add these row of codes into /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
network={
ssid="YourSSID"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="YourPassword"
priority=5
} |
Create a soft link between net.lo and net.wlan0.
| Code: | | ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 |
Next, input the following command to activate your card.
If you are connected to wired network, do this, otherwise skip to the next one.
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop |
Finally, finish the hard work.
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
In order to scan the area for wireless access point, you can use iwlist from wireless-tools package or wpa_supplicant scanner.
If you happen to have wireless-tools installed, run this command.
For those who are more comfortable with GUI, compile wpa_supplicant with qt3 or qt4 flag enabled, then run wpa_gui.
