 |
|
Hi All
I've tried a couple of things to get my ralink card working and tried to connect to my router through WPA2
1) I installed the driver for my Ralink (downloaded the 2009_0612_RT3090_Linux_STA_V2.1.0.0_DPO driver source) seems to work 
2) ifconfig -a

/etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_ra0="-Dwext"
config_ra0="dhcp"
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcp_eth0="nontp"
|
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
#wpa_supplicant_ra0="-Drt3090sta"

psk=9c8b27977aac392afe3fffee0dd513e3b174fdb6466f99d4c7662e1b2e85e184
}
|
I've no idea what to put in wpa_supplicant.conf, so I can connect with my router which uses 'WPA2'
For example, if I do
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting ra0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
* Starting wpa_supplicant on ra0 ...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Could not set interface 'ra0' UP [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on ra0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
|
Doesn't look right, but it does something
| Code: |
$> wpa_cli
wpa_cli
wpa_cli v0.6.4

Any help would be appreciated, because I've now clue whats going on here!? |

Try this (changes in blue)
/etc/conf.d/net:
| Quote: | modules_ra0="wpa_supplicant"
#wpa_supplicant_ra0="-Dwext"
config_ra0="dhcp"
dhcpd_ra0="-t 10"
#config_eth0="dhcp"
#dhcp_eth0="nontp" |
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Quote: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
#wpa_supplicant_ra0="-Drt3090sta"
#ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="myrouter"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
#proto=RSN
psk=9c8b27977aac392afe3fffee0dd513e3b174fdb6466f99d4c7662e1b2e85e184
} |
break the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo link
| Code: | | rm /etc/init.d/net.eth0 |
check/make the /etc/init.d/net.ra0 -> /etc/init.d/net.lo link
| Code: | | ls -l /etc/init.d/ | grep -i ra0 |
If net.ra0 -> net.lo does not show up:
| Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.ra0 |
let hal and udev start the nic:
| Code: | rc-update del net.eth0
rc-update del net.ra0 |
|

thnx a lot!! I guess the configuration files are now correct, but I still get the SIOCSIFFLAGS messages
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
* One of the files in /etc/{conf.d,init.d} or /etc/rc.conf
* has a modification time in the future!
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting ra0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
* Starting wpa_supplicant on ra0 ...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Could not set interface 'ra0' UP [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on ra0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
|
Is this something which might be caused by a miss configured kernel ?
BTW I didn't remove net.eth0 because I work remote on this machine |

* has a modification time in the future! --> your clock was/is misset
Before compiling the rt3090 driver did you?
| Quote: | In <your path>/2009_0612_RT3090_Linux_STA_V2.1.0.0_DPOos/linux/config.mk
** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'. |

I missed the firmware
So, now its all working. I can do
However it doesn't connect with my router!
If I do net.ra0 start I see the following in my messages

I get the impression something is wrong with the key!?
UPDATE: the key was generated as follows
| Code: |
$> wpa_passphrase myrouter "djwkdiddj ekajsjehins"

I use an 8 character key which requires quotes, PSK="abcdefgh"
The router has the same key as the NIC?

related to WEP, i believe, so not meaningful for your situation.
excellent catch on the firmware, my 2860 compiles/installs put the firmware on integrally, I would have been a longtime guessing on that. |

the firmware problem is really odd. Also the location (/etc/Wireless) is strange. For those interested, the fix is:
| Code: | $> cd /etc/Wireless
$> ln -s ln -s RT3090STA RT2860STA
|
One more thing, when I remove net.eth0 and net.ra0 from rc-update I don't think anything will start!
So, what shoud udev do ?
UPDATE: I donwloaded the driver from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html

if they don't start, leave them in.
If they don't start, I probably have made some kernel choices that you haven't or vice versa.
I have dbus and hal in USE=" in /etc/make.conf |

If I add hal and dbus and rebuild some packages I get the following message during boot
| Code: | | waiting for uevents to be processed |
which seems to take forever (it never continues), so I think I'll keep net.ra0! and remove hal and dbus!
thnx a lot
