Installing a PCMCIA WIFI ASUS card model WL-107G

[adolfix]

I would like to install this card in my laptop to be able to connect it into my network via WIFI 108.11g.

The box indicates that it supports Linux Redhat (After V7.1).

 

After using drakconnect I obtain this :

 

[root@portable adolfo]# drakconnect

FATAL: Module rt2500 not found.

FATAL: Module rt2500 not found.

FATAL: Module rt2500 not found.

FATAL: Module rt2500 not found.

I found the linux drivers files for Redhat (version after 7.1 ) in the CD (It can not be read with mandriva but with windows only) delivered with the board.

 

Three elements can be seen when we read this CD :

 

The readme.txt file,

A folder for the board RT2500SoftAp-Linux-1.3.0.tgz

A folder for the Soft AP RT2500STA-Linux-1.2.0.tgz

 

I am only interested by the folder for the board.

 

 

The README.TXT file says :

=================================================================

 

The source code package verified for Linux version after RedHat Linux 7.1.

 

1) SETUP SEQUENCE

======================================================================

a. $tar -xvzf RT2500STA-Linux-1.1.0.tgz

go to "./RT2500STA-Linux-1.1.0/Module" directory.

 

b. Use 'chmod' command to change access right of following script files :

'load', 'unload', 'Configure'

 

c. $make config # config build linux os version

 

d. $make all # compile driver source code

 

e. $load # load/insmod module(rt2500.o)

 

Note: Script functionality:

load load module to kernel

unload unload module from kernel

Configure retrive linux version

 

2) To BUILD UTILITY

======================================================================

 

a. go to the "./Utility" directory

 

b. run 'qmake -o Makefile raconfig2500.pro'

If qmake command is not found in your system, you can download the QT tool

'qt-x11-free-3.2.1' or later at

http://www.trolltech.com/

 

(qmake comes with RedHat 7.3 or later QT Package)

 

c. run 'make" to compile the utility source code.

 

d. After all, an execution file would be generated "RaConfig2500"

run "RaConfig2500" to config the driver as you want

 

3) CONFIGURATION

======================================================================

RT2500 driver can be configured via following interfaces,

i.e. i)"iwconfig" command, ii)"iwpriv" command, iii) configuration file, iv) RaConfig2500

 

i) iwconfig comes with kernel. Please refer file "iwconfig_usage.txt" for details.

ii) iwpriv usage, please refer to file "iwpriv_usage.txt" for details.

iii)copy configuration file "RT2500STA.dat" to /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat.

Please refer to 3.1) for details.

iv) RT2500 provides API : RaConfig2500, please go to directory ./utility and refer to how-to-compile.txt

 

3.1) Configuration File : RT2500STA.dat

 

# Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat

# This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt2500.o module.

#

# Use "vi -b RT2500STA.dat" to modify settings according to your need.

#

# 1.) set NetworkType to "Adhoc" for using Adhoc-mode, otherwise using Infrastructure

# 2.) set Channel to "0" for auto-select on Infrastructure mode

# 3.) set SSID for connecting to your Accss-point.

# 4.) AuthMode can be "OPEN", "SHARED", "WPAPSK", "WPANONE"

# 5.) EncrypType can be "NONE", "WEP", "TKIP", "AES"

My two last posts here above have the purpose to provide the required information to better understand my next questions I post here below.

 

I copied first all the content of the linux folder provided in the CD (I described in my last two posts here above) in /home/adolfo/DriversASUS/

Executing the ls -l commande we can see :

 

[adolfo@192 DriversASUS]$ ls -l
total 4288
-rwxrwxrwx 1 adolfo adolfo 1644 fév 20 2004 readme.txt*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 adolfo adolfo 2078816 fév 11 2004 RT2500SoftAp-Linux-1.3.0.tgz*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 adolfo adolfo 2295802 fév 11 2004 RT2500STA-Linux-1.2.0.tgz*

 

I tried to install this card following the SETUP SEQUENCE of the README shown in my last post here above.

 

I then executed the command (NB. the version in the README file is 1.1.0 but physically it is 1.2.0) :

 

tar -xvzf RT2500STA-Linux-1.2.0.tgz

 

The result is :

It seems to me that every thing was already unzipped.

 

Now my problems start at point b of the SETUP SEQUENCE because for the command chmod I do not know how to complete it to be able to execute it.

When I execute chmod load I obtain the following :

 

[adolfo@192 DriversASUS]$ chmod unload
chmod: Trop peu de arguments.
Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « chmod --help ».
[adolfo@192 DriversASUS]$

 

The translation of the message is -> chmod : To few arguments.

 

What could I do ?

 

Thanks in advance.

[ianw1974]

The command chmod, changes the way a file acts. For example, you may wish to make the file executable. For that you would:

 

chmod +x unload/load/configure (in your case, whichever the file is called)

 

to change it so it cannot be executed, the command would be:

 

chmod -x filename (unload/load/configure in your case)

 

The document, doesn't seem to say in what respects to change it, but am assuming that it means to make it executable.

Edited June 6, 2005 by ianw1974

[adolfix]

This is the content of the load file :

 

/sbin/insmod rt2500.o

/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet 192.168.1.234 up

/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1

 

This is the content of the unload file :

 

/sbin/ifconfig ra0 down

/sbin/rmmod rt2500

 

The Configure file is an executable file.

 

I have two other files with the term configure in it which are : config.mk and config.new

 

The content of config.mk is :

 

LINUX_SRC=/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk

 

And the content of the config.new file is :

 

#

# Automatically generated by 'make config' -- don't edit!

#

LINUX_SRC="/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-12mdk"

 

 

Thanks in advance.

[ianw1974]

OK, looks like the load and unload are files that are going to run those commands.

 

If they're not already executable, you can make them with the chmod +x filename (ie: chmod +x load)

 

Do you have your kernel source installed. Type uname -r to check the version of kernel currently running, and then install the source for it. Check in /usr/src that a linux@ exists, and that it points to your current kernel source that matches your kernel version.

 

To check, when in /usr/src type ll and it will give a long listing format, or ls -l if you prefer.

 

If you already have the source etc, not to worry, just thought I would post just to make sure.....

[adolfix]

Here it is :

drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 mai 17 23:55 slmodem-2.9.10/
[root@192 adolfo]#

 

What do you think about it ?

 

Thanks in advance.

[ianw1974]

Ok, the source is on OK. Did you type uname -r to see if your running kernel matches the source? You don't need to be root to run this command, and will report something like:

 

kernel-2.6.8.1.24

 

if you're running the same kernel as the source you have installed above. By default, the kernel for 10.1 is kernel-2.6.8.1-12 unless the newer kernel has been installed.

I then went to the folder ./rt2500-1.1.0/Module and execute the command :

[adolfo@portable Module]$ make

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build: No such file or directory. Arrêt.

rt2500.ko failed to build!

make: *** [module] Erreur 1

Why this error ?

 

Thanks in advance

For some reason, it's trying to find the old kernel to compile.

 

Is this referenced in the Module/Makefile by any chance, without it actually detecting and compiling based on the kernel source you have installed? If not this file, then I think there is one somewhere that's referencing this.

 

I run the same kernel as you, and under my /lib/modules I have the directory 2.6.8.1-24mdk

[adolfix]

I think the reason is that I do not have the kernel sources installed yet. I did a fresh install on my laptop yesterday because I had a very annoying problem yesterday.

 

I have now the version 12 and not the 24 anymore.

 

I will let you know if the reason was this.

[adolfix]

In fact, I do not have the kernel sources installed.

 

I can see that there are two :

 

- kernel-source-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk

- kernel-source-2.6- 2.6.8.1-12mdk

 

Should I installe only the second ?

 

If both the first first ?

 

Thanks in advance.

[ianw1974]

Just the kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk.

[adolfix]

OK.

 

Should I boot the pc after the installation with MCC ?

 

Thanks in advance.
