 Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2010 6:11 am Post subject: trouble associating to wlan (wpa) [SOLVED] |
 |
|
hi folks,
i'm more than desperate on this issue, since i was trying for hours and searching the web for every little help. i purchased a dlink card with a ralink chip and it just doesn't connect to my router. all my other gadgets do... btw.: using wpa_gui, i'm able to scan the network, although not very reliable, so the hardware should work.
so here is some output i gathered, maybe you are able to find something???

Have you tried using wicd? It makes configuration and a lot of other things easier. It's a daemon, that takes over configuration for you. Just

Dont't get me wrong, I appreciate that hint and maybe will try later.
But using wpa_supplicant your quite close to technology and I use the same setup on all my machines and it works like a charm. therefore the question remains, why the heck does scanning and connecting not work as expected even though the hardware seems to work properly?
cheers!
alex

Sorry to revive this old-ish thread, but I'm having a very similar problem with the same card. I can connect initially on boot (scanning is also quite unreliable), but after a while (about 30 mins) the connection drops and I can no longer scan at all. If I rmmod rt61pci and then modprobe it again it works in the same way as at boot (unreliably).
Could you please post your working configuration, so I might be able to see how you solved it? |
