[MrBrand]

Hello @all,
i have a problem with the wireless pci card of Linksys.

lspci | grep RaLink

iwconfig

answer

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

So if I understand correctly is the pci card has been recognized and has a RaLink chip RT61
However, it is to me neither Ifconfig still under Iwconfig as an interface.

Somebody have any idea?
An addition:
I once looked to these instructions:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...ver/RalinkRT61

And then, when I go to the search module rt67 I dont find it. For me it is rt61pci Here are the query

modinfo rt61pci

I should just follow the instructions to the latest Ralink drivers?
Or rather could lead to problems?

However, it is to me neither Ifconfig still under Iwconfig as an interface.

I don't understand this at all. Can you please explain?

I think I do understand this from ifconfig:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse xxxxxxxx 
          inet Adresse:xxxxxxxx7  Bcast:xxxxxxxxxx5  Maske:xxxxxxxxxx0
          RX bytes:82157 (80.2 KB)  TX bytes:43044 (42.0 KB)

and this, from iwconfig:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"xxxxxxx" 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: xxxx

They both suggest you are connected and have an IP address. The only thing I see I might change is:

Bit Rate=1 Mb/s

If you are surfing the web, I'm sure it's sloooowwwww! Please try

sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate auto

I wouldn't be looking for new drivers if I could connect out of the box!

[MrBrand]

Sorry,
the interface wlan0 is an other uinterfsce. Is an Dlink USb Stick that i use at one moment.
You can find the PCI card if you serch it.
But i dont find an interface of it.

thats my problem.

and one failure more.
I have an WMP54G v4.5 not v7, sorry.

I have tested ndiswrapper but it is not possible tu use the card.
The driver is installed already, but i dont find the card as interface.

[chili555]

Network Manager, which is installed by default, will not like two interfaces with two IP addresses at one time. Neither will your computer, unless you are connection sharing and one of the cards supports ap mode. Not all do. Please detach the D-Link USB and do:

sudo modprobe rt61pci
sudo lshw -C network
iwconfig

Let us know.

[MrBrand]

Sorry, i have many much work last time.
Well i have do it and thats the result:

at first

sudo modprobe rt61pci

no failure

sudo lshw -C network

answer

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

Now, you can see my Problem?
The card is ready and the system knows the card, but i don't have an wireless interface!
