Hi Eric, There is still some "magic" about how the rt2860 module configuration works that I/we don't properly understand. I have found that when connecting to my own home network (802.11g from a WRT54G running OpenWRT, with WEP) I can only make it work by setting up the parameters in the /etc/Wireless/RT2860.DAT file (or whatever it's called). With the few other networks that I've tried I've not needed that file and have been able to configure it using iwpriv. Working this out has taken lots of tedious trial and error. I would not be at all surprised if connecting to a -b-only network is another corner-case that needs special configuration. In your case, presumably wpa_suplicant is poking the module in some way that breaks it; if I were you, I'd enable debugging in the module (I think it's a compile-time option for the module) and/or strace wpa_suplicant and see exactly what wpa_suplicant does. Then try variations on that manually until you find the step that breaks it. Good luck! Phil. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
