one of my converts was having trouble getting his card working. we found above
and it did get him going, and why i passed them along. would have been nice for
you if they had.

i hope it works for you.

that is a new link for me. will check to see what all they have. thanks.

in my lan, all boxes are wired for added security. i have a 2wire 2701hg-b,
a 4 port plus wireless that i have enabled for visitors. when i get my 'barn'
in back yard finished, i will get a couple internal wireless cards so i do not
have to run cable to it.

best and much luck to you.

Hi g,

Thank you for your feedback. Comments inline. By the way, your 
0xD464C3FC key could not be found by any of the keyservers offered by 
enigmail.

Yup seen those.

Linux 2.6.24 was released on January 28th. It includes a horde of new
wireless drivers:

 * Intel Wireless Link (iwlwifi) drivers for iwl3945 and iwl4965
 * SDIO driver for Marvell's Libertas 8385 and 8686 hardware
 * Ralink drivers for RT2400/RT2500/RT61 (PCI/PCMCIA), RT2500/RT73 (USB)


Seen that too and I have tried the rt2500pci kernel module but using 
that module the wifi card would not even setup a link to an open AP (or 
an AP with WEP encryption). Seems that module could use some TLC.



links for last line are;

  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/rt73usb


The C54Ri card specifically needs the rt2500 or rt2500pci kernel module. 
The rt61pci kernel module is for cards with newer rt25xx chipsets.


My next step is to try the rt2500 legacy driver from 
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz with the 
rt2500fix2-fc9-2.6.25.10-and-above.patch.gz patch so it compiles on F9

WiFi: Conceptronic C54Ri (RaLink RT2500) and WPA no go

2008-08-08 Thread Patrick

Hi,

Think I read about a zillion pages to find a WiFi PCI nic that's 
supported by Linux (Fedora 9). I found the Conceptronic C54Ri which has 
a RaLink RT2500 chip, is supposed to work and was available at a shop 
near me.


Unfortunately I can't get the card to do anything with NetworkManager 
(NM) when the rt2500pci module is loaded. It won't even setup a link to 
an AP without any security. With the latest ndiswrapper 1.5.3 and 
version 2 firmware from conceptronic.net at least NM can setup a link to 
an AP that has no security whatsoever and NM can also setup a link using 
WEP. Both are useless for obvious security reasons. Both WPA and WPA2 
didn't work (wpa_supplicant mentioned some timeout authenticating to the 
AP). I require a WPA2/CCMP (AES) link to the AP.


Does anyone have any experience with this card or any RaLink RT2500 
based card howto make NetworkManager (or system-config network) 
successfully set up a WPA2/CCMP (AES) link to an AP?


Thanks and regards,
Patrick

ps if anyone knows a WiFi PCI card or USB stick that has the 
always-working-out-of-the-box-Intel WiFi chipset please let me know
