rt2561 in SuSE10.2
Hello.
I've got some problems with my wifi PCI card. Card is recognized, in boot log I can see following:
lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 done
wlan0 device: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
No configuration found for wlan0 unused
wmaster0 device: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
No configuration found for wmaster0 unused
Setting up service network . . . . . . . . . . . . . done
But after installation no card is configured. I tried to create /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 from template and got this:
KRAFT:~ # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 IEEE 802.11g Frequency:2.412 GHz
RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:off
KRAFT:~ # ifup wlan0
wlan0 device: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
wlan0 warning: WPA configured but may be unsupported
wlan0 warning: by this device
wlan0 warning: wpa_supplicant already running on interface
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No buffer space available
Cannot enable interface wlan0.
interface wlan0 is not up
I have no idea what wmaster0 is, I have no other wireless device.
I also found this:
<3>rt61pci->rt61pci_init_firmware_cont: Error - Failed to load Firmware.
in boot log.
Bugzilla says:
We have an experimental driver in 10.2, but it is incomplete and of not much
use for the end-user yet. And you actually need firmware. See
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Hom...ort/Linux.html
But I dunno what to do with this.
So, is there any way how to make this card working? ndiswrapper could be a way but when there's native drivers..Thanks for any hints..
