I created a testing function to fill in the wireless stats with 0 values,
and great news, the rt2x00 chipset is detected as a wireless card. It
does everything except WPA, so not much better than the legacy
rt2400/rt2500 at the moment.
I seem to be getting a lot of "Device or resource busy" warnings from
NetworkManager like
NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_mode ():
error setting card wlan0 to Infrastructure mode: Device or resource busy
NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_device_802_11_wireless_scan (): could
not trigger wireless scan on device wlan0: Device or resource busy
(even though it did actually scan here... I'm a bit confused)
The only other warning I can see that might have something to do with WPA
not working is
** (nm-applet:3052): WARNING **: <WARNING> wsm_set_capabilities ():
capabilities='3000' and did not match any protocals, not even none!
But that's probably because all the values of wlan0 in /proc/net/wireless
are 0, except for status, which is 1, maybe?
