My system is a AMD dual core 32 bit bridge System with PCI rt2500 hardware. Under Feisty, the wireless was fine using the rt2500 driver the /etc/network/interfaces stanza is: # auto ra0 iface ra0 inet dhcp wireless-essid MyVerizonNetRouter wireless-key 64bit_key wireless-ap StationAddress
After performance was reliable I enabled auto ra0 and with bootup I am usually online Just installed Gutsy on a spare partition. The System auto named the wireless wlan0, so I made ra0 --> wlan0 changes to the stanza above. Upon initial bootup ifconfig had both wlan0 and wmaster0 blocks in addition to the standard lo I could not connect to the wireless router. To watch kernel messages, I set: tail /var/log/messages & Went through numerous trials without acquiring the wireless router, alternately using ndiswrapper, rt2500 and rt2500pci drivers. With each failed trial I would: ifdown wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 down which cleared the ifconfig blocks except lo . Unloaded modprobe -r Driver Then restart: modprobe Next_Driver because the auto setup was wrong for reasons obscure ifdown wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 down ifup wlan0 which usually failed to get a station offer. With all three drivers, there was a cogent report from: iwlist wlan0 scan though there were following failures with: ifup wlan0 Finally a trial worked using the rt2500pci driver, For reasons still obscure. And there is in progress an apt-get update Major point, if is worth going through trial like the above several times.
