F9: Installing Ndiswrapper for AWLL6070 (rt2870)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




I have tried the Ralink way to try and get the Airlink-101 (rt2870)
built from sources, to setup ra0, configuration and all that and got
as far as getting the client to see the Access-points from the neighborhood
which was awesome, but failed to set the ESSID in order to connect
to my Access point.  Giving up at this point, I thought I'd try out the
Ndiswrapper method.

I was able to follow the instructions from this link:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=29659

and from this link:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,installation/#install_windows_driver

and so far it *appears* that the drivers were installed and the wlan0 alias
was set up:

# ndiswrapper -l
rt2870 : driver installed
   device (14B2:3C27) present

# dmesg

<last two lines keep repeating, over and over...>

What I do not understand is why is netplugd reporting this?


So, I added:

# vi /etc/netplugd.d/netplug:
eth*
wlan*
<saved changes & quit>

then:
# service netplugd restart
# vi /var/log/messages:
===================

waited.... and then saw:
Jul 16 09:11:04 bronze netplugd[18476]: No interface name
Jul 16 09:11:04 bronze netplugd[18476]: Callback failed

Jul 16 09:11:22 bronze netplugd[18476]: No interface name
Jul 16 09:11:22 bronze netplugd[18476]: Callback failed

So, nothing changed.

Continuing, I tried to test the wlan0 connection with:
# iwconfig wlan0
<computer completely froze up - hard to hard-reboot the computer>

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks!
Dan
