 |
|
Some infos :
| Code: | # uname -a
Linux karputer 2.6.21.7 #3 Sun Nov 4 13:53:56 CET 2007 i686 VIA Nehemiah CentaurHauls GNU/Linux |
| Code: | | net-wireless/rt2570-20070209 |
wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="kazerlan"
psk="mysecretkey"
priority=5
}
|
| Code: | # ls -l /etc/init.d/net*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 sep 6 18:14 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30522 sep 6 18:14 /etc/init.d/net.lo

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 nov 15 22:09 /etc/init.d/net.rausb0 -> net.lo
|
| Code: |
# iwconfig

| Code: | # cat /etc/conf.d/net

config_rausb0=( "192.168.1.141/24" )

"default via 192.168.1.1"
)
routes_rausb0=(
"default via 192.168.1.1"
)
modules=("wpa_supplicant")
|
Now the problem :
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.rausb0 start
* Starting rausb0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on rausb0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 7 value 0x1 - ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ]th param 5 value 0x1 -
* Starting wpa_cli on rausb0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
|
Is it bad doctor?
thanks in advance people.

KaZeR,
Hmm. I didn't realise that net-wireless/rt2570-20070209 would build with a 2.6.21 kernel, or newer.
There have been a lot of kernel changes since February that have broken out of kernel modules.
Your best bet is rt2x00 or rt2x00-9999, which is the CVS version of the driver.
It will be in the 2.6.24 kernel but I can say that in 2.6.24-rc1 and -rc2 its broken.

Yes, i've read a post in which you mentionned that (at first i tried it on 2.6.22).
Should i downgrade more? I tried with Z.6.24 but it didn't work neither (didn't even compile iirc)

KaZeR,
The driver is included in the kernel in 2.6.24, so you don't need any out of kernel moules.
Like I said, its broken just now

Yes, but in the end it doesn't work 
(i tried two or three weeks ago, so i don't remember the exact problem)
With 2.6.21, kismet works. Only associating to an AP doesn't.
What should i do?

KaZeR,
Try an older kernel ... you may need to go back as far 2.6.17
