Hello, I have Voyage 0.6.1 running running successfully on a VIA mini-ITX board which I ssh into remotely via ethernet. I have added a EDIMAX PCI wireless card (Ralink chip set) as I wish to ssh into the box via a wireless connection. I copied the firmwear driver (rt2561s.rts) into /lib/firmware/ and altered the /etc/network/interfaces file to read:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 10.1.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.10.255 up iwconfig wlan0 essid BigAl mode Master up nat.sh wlan0 eth0 "10.1.10.0/24" Initially when the system boots syslog reports - Apr 13 09:38:51 voyage vmunix: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. Although iwlist wlan0 scan works that is about as far as the wireless system seems to operate. The ifwconfig command produces: wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"BigAl" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=3 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I noticed from a previous report concerning a Ralink USB stick that there may be a problem with the kernel and Ralink drivers. If anyone could shed some light on this problem I would be grateful, also being new to the world of wireless networking I'm not too sure whether I have done things correctly or whether I'm missing a configuration file. Thanks in anticipation, Alan
