I'm trying to install a Linksys G (WMP54G) wireless pci adapter. I've
checked the man pages for the ral driver and this is one of the cards
listed as being supported.
Here are the appropriate dmesg lines:
ral0 at pci1 dev 9 function 0 "Ralink RT2561S" rev 0x00: irq 12, address
00:16:b6:98:85:1f
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2661B, RF RT2527
Here is the output from /sbin/ifconfig:
ral0: flags=8902<BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:16:b6:98:85:1f
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
status: no network
ieee80211: nwid "" 100dBm
If I use /etc/hostname.ral0 (up mediaopt hostap nwid seenothing.org chan
11 nwkey foobarfoobarf) to configure at boot or /sbin/ifconfig (using
the same as above) to configure at runtime the kernel panics with this
message:
uvm_fault(0xd6e45dc4, 0x0, 0, 1) -> e
kernel: page fault trap, code=0
Stopped at ieeee80211_release_node +0x16 movl 0x 01(%esi), %ebx
Is this a bad card? Is this a memory issue with the card itself? Is this
card not supported in hostap mode (although everything I've read says that
it is)? Am I configuring it incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated.
