After replacing rt2500pci.ko that came with opensuse with rt2500.ko built from sources from the rt2×00.serialmonkey project http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page as described here: http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/opensuse-102-and-rt2x00-wireless-cards/
I am able to get my rt2500 card to work in open unencrypted mode.
However if I want to use wpapsk and a set it using yast\network devices\
network card\traditional ifup method, then the resulting
config file,
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-id-00:0e:2e:ab:a5:66ifcfg-wlan-id-00:0e:2e:ab:a5:66
(this file is shown below.)
does not work. Network is unreachable.
However if I execute these commands from root:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK="not my real password example only"
iwconfig wlan0 essid "PAULNET"
dhcpcd -n
Then the card does work!
The ifcfg-wireless commands and varriables are not well documented.
So my question is how do i modify the file,
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-id-00:0e:2e:ab:a5:66ifcfg-wlan-id-00:0e:2e:ab:a5:66
so that encrypted wireless networking comes up correctly without
my intervention?
