Package: rt2500-source
Version: 1.1.0+cvs20060
Severity: important
Nobody told me I had to edit the /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat
file, if I had known about that I would have clicked that the reason I
wasn't getting an IP although everything else looked perfect, was
because the default value for auth was AuthMode=SHARED when my system
uses AuthMode=OPEN.
I mean there is a quickstart file for debian users called INSTALL.debian
that ships with the rt2500-source.deb, however this file make no mention of
RT2500STA.dat which gets installed as above.
Now seeing that RT2500STA.dat ships with a default Auth setting of
SHARED, that file should be mentioned in INSTALL.debian.
