It works but I have to disagree with Dries on the wpa supplicant stuff. I compiled the driver without touching config.mk as per Dries (The wpa_supplicant stuff is indeed not necessary as NetworkManager does this on the fly for you). When I think about it (as I write this), was this advice for not tweaking config.mk or not fiddling with the commands (#>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x #>./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d)?
Anyway I had to tweak config.mk to have a working connection. A little summary for those who struggle (like me) with compilation and such. get rid of whatever rt2860 driver you have (1.8 or 1.7) then: wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25979268/rt2860sta-connect-to-mixed-tkip-aes-routers.patch wget http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2009_0424_RT2860_Linux_STA_V2.1.1.0.tgz tar xzf 2009_0424_RT2860_Linux_STA_V2.1.1.0.tgz cd 2009_0424_RT2860_Linux_STA_V2.1.1.0/ patch -p1 < ../rt2860sta-connect-to-mixed-tkip-aes-routers.patch sed -i 's/^HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n/HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y/;s/^HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n/HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y/' os/linux/config.mk sudo make sudo make install sudo ifconfig ra0 down sudo rmmod rt2860sta sudo modprobe rt2860sta sudo ifconfig ra0 up Connected. one last thing, I will need to find a router called Livebox (from the Orange ISP in France). Indeed I had the most weird thing yesterday with one of them at a friend's. I simply could not connect to it either with 1.8 or 1.7 with wep, wpa, no encryption. I was out of my mind. Apparently there was no mac filtering but I will need to double check with another Livebox. -- [Jaunty] wireless rt2860 not connecting to WPA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
