adamw Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 2008 is using the new Devicescape wireless network stack (that's the 'mac80211' in the output above). Basically, in Beta 1, it's just broken. Only one of the devicescape drivers work, none of the others do. We've just updated the wireless code in the kernel today, so it'll be newer in Beta 2, and might work better. But for Beta 1, it's not going to work - you're better off with ndiswrapper.

Lexicon Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Thanks, have you seen that new beta2? I havn't windows but drivers for windows on CD. How to use ndiswrapper? Hmm, same problem issue in MDV 2007 Spring when I install 2.6.22 kernel. Edited August 17, 2007 by Lexicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Beta 2 will be out at the start of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 When the driver is working, you need to configure wlan0 not wmaster0. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yes, reconfigure on wlan0. System supposedly started net_applet is up, but I havn't connection to Internet? :angry2: Wmaster0 create automaticly during starting system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi, problem solved. I download Mandriva Spring and here is only newest driver rt61pci not old rt61. Any distro not worked with rt61pci driver on my card (Ralink), why? ......Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
