Hi everyone, I am trying to set up a Belkin usb wireless adapter on FC6. Its the rt73 chipset and as such I had to download and compile the driver for it. Having done this, I am trying to get it to come up correctly on boot. So I launched system-config-network and edited the relevant settings. However when i do, /sbin/ifdown rausb0 /sbin/ifup rausb0 the WEP settings are not configured correctly. iwconfig shows that encryption is off. So to get it to connect, I need to do this: sudo /sbin/iwconfig rausb0 key open sudo /sbin/iwconfig rausb0 key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It then works. ifcfg-rasub0 looks like this: # belkin rt73 usb DEVICE=rausb0 BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.1.101 HWADDR=00:17:3F:71:62:72 ONBOOT=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain DOMAIN= NETMASK=255.255.255.0 TYPE=Wireless USERCTL=no IPV6INIT=no PEERDNS=yes ESSID=xxxxx CHANNEL=11 MODE=Managed RATE=Auto GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 The file keys-rausb0 is also there and it has the right key in it. Is there something I am missing here? Best regards and thanks! Alastair
