[Debian-eeepc-devel] Ralink problems

[Matthew Johnson]

Hi guys, 

I have an EEE1000 and I'm having problems getting the wireless to work.
Symptoms are:

driver loads, ra0 wireless device appears.

iwlist scan works:

ra0       Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:09:5B:3F:E2:BB
                    ESSID:"milton"
                    Mode:Managed
                    Channel:1
                    Quality:50/100  Signal level:-70 dBm  Noise level:-97 dBm
                    Encryption key:on
                    Bit Rates:11 Mb/s

but when I set the essid and key using iwconfig (it's WEP) iwconfig
doesn't  reflect this change:

ra0       RT2860 Wireless  ESSID:""  Nickname:"RT2860STA"
          Mode:Auto  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality=10/100  Signal level:0 dBm  Noise level:-97 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

and trying to dhclient doesn't work.

I'm using the ra2860-source package from your repo installed using
m-a a-i against linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 on lenny. 

dmesg shows:

I was hoping someone might have some ideas, given that I'm told people
definitely have it working.

Thanks,
Matt
