Hello Everybody! As I can't use rt2500 with networkmanager (due the lack of wpa_supplicant-support) I tried ndiswrapper-1.2 (?) on gentoo and it works fine with networkmanager. On dapper - with ndiswrapper-1.8 - nm doesn't connect. Manually trying to run wpa_supplicant I discovered that I get a connection with my ap when NOT using -Dndiswrapper BUT -Dwext.
Back to networkmanager: I found a workaround in
src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c,
if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "ath_pci"))
wpa_driver = "madwifi";
else if (!strcmp (kernel_driver, "ndiswrapper"))
wpa_driver = "ndiswrapper";
else
wpa_driver = "wext";
which I removed (well, at least the part concerning ndiswrapper). Finally
networkmanager connects fine.
BTW: Installing the source with "apt-src network-manager", the workaround isn't
applied (it's in src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c.orig). I removed the lines
from src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c.orig and copied it over to
src/nm-device-802-11-wireless.c and build a package, which works fine.
Ciao,
Olaf
