Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17
I installed Edgy Eft Beta on my tower which uses a wireless card that is
reported as "RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI" (lspci). The kernel module
is loaded and provides interfaces wlan0 and wmaster 0. But it doesn't
work - I never get a connection to my AP (I tried with and without
encryption). "iwlist wlan0 scanning" fails without result.
So far this bug is a duplicate of bug #58117.
I then tried different versions of configuration (using
/etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat and combinations of iwconfig/iwpriv)
but nothing works. I also downloaded and installed the legacy rt61
driver from serialmonkey.com but it also fails. Then I tried the
original driver from RaLink configured using this rt61sta.dat file: it
works including WPA.
I suggest to replace the driver rt61pci with rt61 from RaLink for Edgy
Eft.
