 Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 4:31 am Post subject: wusb54g v4 and wpa_supplicant |
 |
|
I have my config files (shown below) set up to autoconnect to "default"
when i run ifconfig rausb0 up, the interface comes up, but it never gets an address
dhcpcd rausb0 hangs at "waiting for carrier"
/ect/init.d/net.rausb0 start (after it's been stopped) shows a bunch of errors: | # /ect/init.d/net.rausb0 start: | # /etc/init.d/net.rausb0 start
* Starting rausb0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on rausb0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on rausb0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... |
running kernel 2.6.27-r2 from gentoo-sources
running wpa_supplicant 0.6.4
using the RaLink RT2570USB Enhanced Driver from here, except a beta 1.6.3 version that compiles under my kernel. The version 4 uses the rt2750 driver, all previous versions use rt73
i've spent the last few days googling for a solution and haven't found one, so i make my first post on the gentoo forume: the greatest of them all, right? right. hopefully someone knows what's going on
| /etc/conf.d/net: | #wireless configuration
# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
config_not_yours=( "dhcp" )
config_default=( "dhcp" )
# It's important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we should
# be using as it's not very good at guessing yet
# wext means use the generic linux wireless extensiont. prefer this
# specifying a specific driver interface
wpa_supplicant_rausb0="-Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" |
| /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: | # Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X)
network={
ssid="default"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=5
}
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1 |
