Public bug reported:
On feisty with todays updates (2007-01-05) my RT2500-based card does not work
out of the box.
Symptoms: during the boot process, one of the led of the card turns on for a
fraction of a second, and the off. Both leds stay off afterwards, which is not
normal.
The card is detected: it shows up in lspci, iwconfig and ifconfig (ra0). But
dhcp won't work. Signal quality is 0. Trying to set the essid through iwconfig
doesn't work: the card always appears with empty ("") essid in iwconfig.
However "sudo iwconfig ra0 essid xyz" does not report any error. The essid is
simply not taken into account.
The issues seems to be that to set the essid of the card, it must be disabled
first:
sudo ifconfig ra0 down
sudo iwconfig ra0 essid xyz key 12345
sudo ifconfig ra0 up
at this point both leds on the card turn on and I can start dhcp.
