HOWTO: RT61 on Egdy Eft with WPA

[phq]

Well, you should really use WPA at least hum.. did you take the max 52 alphanum char thingie in account?

is the module loading?

what's the iwconfig output?

could you post your rt61sta.dat?

Does it work with dhcp too?

[Biozid]

Finally everything works!! I can confirm that this setup works with AES, TKIP and dhcp.

Now add the interface with your settings to /etc/network/interfaces

#> vi /etc/network/interfaces

comment out the preconfigured wlan0 interface and add following lines (with your ips)

iface ra0 inet static
address <your ip>
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway <ip of your access point>
auto ra0

Settings for DHCP

iface ra0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid YOURESSID
auto ra0

Thanks for the dhcp settings, I will add them to the howto.

I can't get this to work for some reason:

daniel@atlantis:~/RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0/Module$ make all
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build SUBDIRS=/home/daniel/RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0/Module modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-server/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas?

when I do the iwconfig to check if the device is present, I get a ra0_ifrename...I can tell I'm close, but no device exists with that name...it seems to have a connection, though (the link light is blinking like crazy)

any ideas?

Any ideas?

Did you overwrite the Makefile by Makefile.6 first?

Newbie question:

You have an wireless router connected to, say, a cable modem. When you are to define <your ip> following the howto, is it the external ip address (which, for me, is something like 201.xxx.xxx.xxx) provided by your ISP/cable modem or a custom internal ip address you want to define for your wireless adapter?

A custom internal IP.
