 |
|
Hi,
I have a network (wireless) card that runs on the rt61 driver. when I run iwconfig, I get for ra0:
RT61 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode: Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
RTS thr: off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
The ESSID is not appearing. I have set it up in /etc/conf.d/wireless:
essid_ra0="any"
mode_ra0="auto"
adhoc_essid_ra0="ChenYuWNet"
channel_ra0="11"
essid_0030BD6266F1="ChenYuWNet"
preferred_aps=( "ChenYuWNet" )
My network does not use encryption.
I did enable CONFIG_NET_RADIO and CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS in the kernel.
When I run dhcpcd, it can't find anything and times out.

doing iwlist ra0 scanning gives:
<other APs>

Address: 00:30:BD:62:66:F1
ESSID: "ChenYuWNet"
Mode: Managed
Channel: 11
Encryption: off
Bit Rates: 0 kb/s

this may be a poor guess, but it seems like it's not applying the settings I set in /etc/conf.d/wireless? Because iwlist ra0 channel gives
Current Frequency=2.412 GHz (Channel 1) |

| Also, when I go to Network Tools, for ra0, it says it is an unknown interface and cannot find the hardware address. |
