Thanks a lot for that :-) Hopefully the current rt73 package is stored in experimental area, so the upgrade won't be problematic, even if the interface name will be changed from rausb* to wlan*. Wouldn't it be best to change it directly to eth* in the driver? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I tried several different drivers, and all of them had various problems, except the rt3-cvs one. (I needed injection support as well - maybe that's why I didn't go with rt73). I'm going to investigate this issue. First, I'd like to know all the difference between official rt73 and rt73-cvs drivers. I know they differs with the list of supported devices. Have a summary of the differences would be very interesting, indeed. I think the rt73-cvs uses wlan0 interface name than rausb0. I'm afraid that it would be serious change for actual users of Debian package. I think that it's quite easy to hack in rtmp_main.c (but I haven't tried: I use wlan0.) -- .''`.Piotr Roszatycki : :' :mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

tags 434341 wontfix thanks Hi. I don't want to switch to serialmonkey sources because... there is such package already! It is called rt2x00, see: http://packages.debian.org/rt2x00 You can find there the really new rt73usb driver which is probably not stable and has less features than official one. The serialmonkey provides also the legacy driver (rt73-csv) which is based on previous 1.0.3.6 version. It should be more stable and probably could be potential replacement for original rt73 driver. I see only one problem with rt73 driver - it doesn't work with iwconfig and have to be configured with iwpriv command only. I'll test the serialmonkey's driver but I don't want to switch to this upstream, so I'm marking this report as wontfix (yet). 2007/9/26, Lucas Nussbaum [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 23/07/07 at 04:20 -0400, William Lynch wrote: Package: rt73-source Version: 1.0.4.0.dfsg1-1~experimental1 Severity: normal I've been messing with this for about a week.

I tend to think you might want to switch to using that source instead of ralink's source. Thanks for the work with this package though. Hi, I can only second that, as I lost several hours try to get this driver to work (DHCP requests weren't sent), while the one from serialmonkey worked perfectly as soon as I switched to it. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- .''`.Piotr Roszatycki : :' :mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
