Pretty new to this, running sid.
Using the following wifi configuration within my /etc/network/interfaces
file fails.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
manual eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.10
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
dns-nameservers 203.0.178.191
dns-search thorpesystems.local
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.10.2
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid TSP
wireless-key AC45FE23ED3EDF51A78CDE45F1
dns-nameservers 192.168.10.100
dns-search thorpesystems.local
The only related message I seem to be able to find in /var/log/dmesg is
this....
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
on the very last line.
As a work around I have placed....
iwconfig wlan0 essid TSP ap 00:1C:F0:3A:F2:DC mode Managed freq 3
channel 6 retry 24 key AC45-FE23-ED3E-DF51-A78C-DE45-F1
(on one line) in my /etc/rc.local file which does get me a working (all
be it intermittent) connection, however I would like to resolve this
wireless-tools problem.
My card is...
Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
I have installed firmware-ralink, wireless-tools and the rt61pci drivers
are loading. Anyone got any ideas where to start?
Thanks,
Tony.
