Re: RT2560F wireless
This is a new installation. Currently we have a Ubuntu server that needs updating and we are considering replacing it with a Lenny server. The installation was the default install with desktop selected from the installation tasksel menu. After that the only other item installed was wireless-tools. The router we are connected to uses WPA. We are trialling two installations: Ubuntu Intrepid and Debian Lenny. The Ubuntu network-manager applet shows about 80% signal strength and the connection, set up with network-manager, works OK. In Lenny, after installing wireless-tools, I get a similar dialogue box but no signal strength and no connection. lsmod shows rt61pci module in available. Thanks Kevin.

RT2560F wireless
I have been using a computer with a wireless card with an RT2560F chip that works with network manager on Ubuntu Intrepid but does not work under Debian Lenny. I am connecting to a wireless router with WPA-PSK. Does anyone have experience of this chip and how to get it working under Lenny? Thanks Kevin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I do not have this chipset, but an 'apt-cache search ralink' shows some interesting packages, and the upstream docs look promising. http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Debian_rt2500_Howto -- Kind Regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
