Hi!
I can't get a wifi WEP encrypted connection with my eeepc 1000H.
Network controller: RaLink Device 0781
Subsystem: RaLink Device 2790
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 0
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19
Region 0: Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: rt2860
Kernel modules: rt2860sta
I got the rt2860sta module from sid :
pier at eeepmsid~% aptitude show rt2860-source
Paquet : rt2860-source
État: installé
Automatiquement installé: non
Version : 1.8.0.0-2
My machine works with updated sid.
-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Versions of packages rt2860-source depends on:
ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co
Versions of packages rt2860-source recommends:
ii debhelper 7.0.17 helper programs for debian/rules
ii module-assistant 0.10.11.0 tool to make module package creati
Versions of packages rt2860-source suggests:
ii make 3.81-5 The GNU version of the "make" util
In /etc/network/interfaces, I have :
allow hotplug ra0
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid _my_essid_
wireless-key _my_key_
This works with 3 other machines.
I tried too :
allow-hotplug ra0
auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
# wireless-essid _my_essid_
ifup /usr/sbin/iwpriv ra0 set SSID=_my_essid_ ; \
/usr/sbin/iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WEPAUTO ; \
/usr/sbin/iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=WEP
wireless-key _my_key_
Doesn't work either.
I copied RT2860STA.dat from /usr/share/doc/rt2860-modules-2.6.26-1-686/examples/RT2860STA.dat
into /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/ and put my essid and key to proper (I think) place.
All I can get is :
pier at eeepmsid~% sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
