Hi there!

I'm trying to configure the w-lan on my eeepc 1000h and encountered one problem after another.

Here are the params:

Networkdevice: rt2860

Code:
noname ~ # lspci | grep RaLink
01:00.0 Network controller: RaLink Device 0781


I'm using the driver form Ralink HP v2.1.0.0
compiled with wpa_supplicant support and without native wpa_support (tryed with native suppored as well, but always resulting the same way so far)

wpa_supplicant v0.6.4

wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="***"
        scan_ssid=1
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
#       psk="***"
        psk=2b8485de8093e512dc1d4faa24dd33a6879ee026c9e0adfd3a3d53624281e2fd
}

(I tryed both, entering a passphrase, generated by wpa_passphrase, as well as directly entering it to the conf, to avoid that as a an error source)

The network of my desire:
Code:
noname ~ # iwlist ra0 scanning
ra0       Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:17:3f:e3:9c:45
                    Protocol:802.11b/g
                    ESSID:"***"
                    Mode:Managed
                    Channel:1
                    Quality:100/100  Signal level:-44 dBm  Noise level:-97 dBm
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rates:36 Mb/s
                    IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
                        Group Cipher : CCMP
                        Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP
                        Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
                       Preauthentication Supported

(don't worry, no typing errors in wpa_supplicant.conf option ssid :wink: )

Now here is the fun...

wpa_supplicant -i ra0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

I did a lot of googling but I didn't find any support, at least nothing that helped me, probably as most discussions I found are based on simple WPA encryption.
Well and none of the eeepc guides I found was able to tell me how to make it work. They tryed, but they didn't! :(

I am new to Gentoo, but i am not new to Linux even though probably still a beginner.
Please open my eyes! I'm quite confident, that the error is right in front of me and i just don't realise it.

And please pardon my english, as i am not a native speaker.

Update:

Yesterday the driver rt2860sta v2.1.1.0 was released.

The wpa_supplicant outputchanged:

Code:
noname ~ # wpa_supplicant -D wext -i ra0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Trying to associate with 00:17:3f:e3:9c:45 (SSID='***' freq=2412 MHz)
Authentication with 00:17:3f:e3:9c:45 timed out.
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
Trying to associate with 00:17:3f:e3:9c:45 (SSID='***' freq=2412 MHz)
Authentication with 00:17:3f:e3:9c:45 timed out.
^CCTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received


I have no time to try stuff again right now. But still I would be happy about responses.
I'm going to give updates in about an hour.

Ok, I was too fast in asking for help.

Figured it out myself. Or better, I found an alternativ solution to my problem.

I don't know weather both drivers i mentioned are buged, or if I just compiled them "wrong".... anyways I found the staging driver in 2.6.29 (Device Driver -> Staging drivers -> RaLink 2860 wireless support) and it seems to work perfectly with the configs i already had.

Hope this still might help others!

Cheers
