 Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:24 pm Post subject: RT2860 and wpa_supplicant problem |
 |
|
I have an ASUS EEE 901 with the Ralink 2860 wireless card. The driver I'm using was built using the source code from Ralink's website with all the WPA options selected in the config.mk as per the walk throughs I've been able to find on this card. The module works when connecting to an unencrypted network using dhcpcd, but doesn't work when using wpa_supplicant to connect to a WPA-PSK encrypted network. Here's the output I'm getting:
| Code: |

Once wpa_supplicant is started I attempt to do a "dhcpcd ra0" but it times out without finding a host. Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# cat /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf

/etc/conf.d/net doesn't contain much because I'm not loading anything on boot except lo. I'm planning to use NetworkManager so I won't need to bother with loading anything on startup.
| Code: |
dns_domain_lo="SubNet"
|
| Code: |
ap_scan=2
network{
ssid="GD"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
# key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
# pairwise=CCMP TKIP
# group=TKIP
psk="I'm Not Telling"
}
|
The # lines are just from some testing I've been doing. The network is WPA2, hence the proto=RSN. With the proto line in there if I remove the # from the key_mgmt line it goes into a weird loop and won't associate. With the # in it associates, but I don't get anything else. In all scenarios I get no leases from my work router.

I figured out what the problem was. There's a config file in the driver source that has setting you must change for whether you are using NetworkManager or not. To get it working until I brought NetworkManager up I had to change one of the settings and recompile the driver. Once NetworkManager was up I had to recompile again with that setting changed back before knetworkmanager would acknowledge the wireless card. What a pain.

It's under the source root as ./os/linux/config.mk
There's several options in there to go through.
