Title: rt2860.tcz Description: rt2860 module Version: 2.2.0.0 Author: Ralink Technology, Inc. Original-site: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 Copying-policy: GNU General Public License, Version 2 Size: 236KB Extension_by: roberts Comments: Mike L. compiled the rt2860 module for use on an eeePC 1000 ---------- Requires the wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore and wireless_tools extensions ---------- After booting, you should see a network interface "raN" with N being 0 in most cases: ra0. To associate with a wireless access point, you can set up a simple script like the following: #!/bin/sh # commands to associate with wireless access point sudo /sbin/ifconfig ra0 up sudo /usr/local/sbin/iwconfig ra0 essid "{{{YOUR ESSID HERE}}}" key restricted "{{{YOUR KEY HERE}}}" sleep 2 sudo /sbin/udhcpc -i ra0 This could be called manually after booting, or automatically from /opt/bootlocal.sh. Note that if the preceding commands are directly inserted in bootlocal.sh, you don't need the "sudo" prefixes. Altenatively, you may use a series of iwpriv commands: #!/bin/sh #Config STA to link with AP which is OPEN/NONE(Authentication/Encryption)) iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infra iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=OPEN iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=NONE iwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID" Another example of iwpriv: #!/bin/sh #Config STA to link with AP which is OPEN/NONE(Authentication/Encryption)) iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infra iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES iwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID" iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="AP's wpa-preshared key" iwpriv ra0 set SSID="AP's SSID" The file 'iwpriv_usage.txt' in the driver source code has more examples and descriptions of all the control options. A third method that might work is to edit the hardware configuration file /etc/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat that is read when the driver kernel module is loaded. If you try this, please make a backup in a persistant location, and also add etc/RT2860STA To your /opt/.filetool.lst. Change-log: Current: 2009/10/08 First version.
