[Debian-eeepc-devel] Can't connect anywhere with rt2860

[Tomaž Šolc]

Hi

I'm having problems connecting to any wireless network with rt2860 
driver on my 901. It appears to be the same problem as discussed 
previously in this thread:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2008-October/001265.html

I can see networks with "iwscan", but "iwconfig" doesn't seem to have 
any effect (even when I do "ifconfig ra0 up" before "iwconfig"). For 
example, when I do "iwconfig ra0 ssid xxx", the ssid doesn't show up 
when I do "iwconfig ra0".

dhclient on an open network times out, as does wpa_supplicant on a WPA 
network (Authentication with ... timed out)

I'm using rt2860-source 1.8.0.0-2 and a kernel compiled from 
linux-source 2.6.26-11,

"iwpriv ra0 driverVer" confirms I'm using the 1.8.0.0 driver.

I've tried recompiling rt2860 driver with 
HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n with no success.

Any ideas what else I could try?

Thanks
Tomaž
