[Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
I've noted issues with RT61PCI driver that were only resolved till I upgraded to kernel version 2.6.31. See my notes under: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/287711/comments/35 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/366170/comments/9 -- rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
I usually see bugs reported in the rt2x00 forums. You'll want to attach the outputs of dmesg, lspci -vvnn, and the regdump script to the post. I'll also mention that the bug that was reported today at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5t=4801 might be related. I've found that if I tried to scan for a network after restarting the networking script (I use the standard interfaces file instead of NetworkManager) that it would return no results available. If I scanned before restarting networking it will detect my router. It might be worth mentioning in the bug report if you can reproduce it. -- rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
That bug report on the forums was my one :) The dmesg output line that I mentioned ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready appears after I boot up the computer, without touching any network configs/settings. It also appears after every time I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. -- rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
I have tried installing multiple drivers for the rt61 chip. The drivers available on the ralink website manage to find my AP every time (using sudo iwlist scan) but I couldn't find any decent documentation on how to establish a WPA2 connection. I also tried the drivers from compat- wireless at linuxwireless.org but they are giving the same error in dmesg that you are describing: [ 3757.690818] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready whenever I run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. I'm not quite sure what this message is actually saying. I can't seem to find any other debug information in other log files. When compiling the compat-wireless drivers, I modified the config.mk to add both CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS=y and CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y but that didn't seem to generate any extra error messages. -- rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
If you look in the README file in the Module directory for Ralink's drivers they give instructions on how to configure it using the rt61sta.dat file. You'll be particularly interested in the AuthMode and EncrypType entries, though you need to fill out the other relevant sections (WPA key, SSID, etc). As for the link not ready error, I noticed something strange. While the compat-wireless drivers were working fine, I started getting the same error again after a power outage made me reboot my PC. If I blacklist the driver(s) (rt61 if you have it installed and rt61pci), reboot so the driver isn't loaded, comment out the rt61pci entry in the blacklist and insert the driver I connect without a problem. I guess the reason why it worked fine the first time I tried it was because I already had the rt61pci driver blacklisted so I could use the rt61 legacy driver, and since I uninstalled the legacy driver my system was clean. I'm still not sure why the driver doesn't work if it loads at boot time, though... As for the debug configs, it doesn't create any extra error messages. If you have a debugfs mounted somewhere (I added an fstab entry to mount it at /sys/kernel/debug) there is extra debug information the driver makes available, the most notable of which are the card's registers. IvD has an updated script that dumps the registers on the rt2x00 forums at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5t=4660 -- rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the link to that script. Where is the best place to file a bug report about this issue?

[Bug 222963] Re: rt61pci fails to locate wireless networks
Could you try restarting networking ('sudo /etc/init.d/networking
restart') and see if there is a line that says something like [
5169.784764] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ra0: link is not ready in the output
of dmesg?
I was using the backports driver for a little over a week, and an update
ended up breaking it for me after I rebooted. Removing it and going
back to the stock driver (the one that probably locks up your PC) will
give the same message, but after a while it eventually will associate
and give me an IP address. Prior to the update that broke the backports
driver the stock one didn't have any problems other than instability.
Currently I'm using drivers from the compat-wireless package from
linuxwireless.org. Thus far the one I've compiled installed
(5/5/2008) has been working fine.
Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
Wireless driver: rt61pci
