wlan and rt2x00

tom.deb · 2006-10-15 16:42:32

I just got a CWP-854 with a Ralink RT2561ST chip.

I followed the [very good] wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … eta_driver but got stuck when i am trying to bring the interface up:

$ ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSFFLAGS: no such device

eventhough i can see both wlan0 and wmaster0 in an ifconfig -a

any idea/help would be great.

I Need the same driver for my DWL-G122 and I can also see my wlan0 and wmaster0, but dmesg shows up that the driver can't load the Firmware. So I can't use It.

Check your dmesg messages.

same thing here :

rt61pci_init_firmware_cont: Failed to load firmware

eventhough I have the firmware file in /lib/firmware

> ls /lib/firmware -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 2005-10-26 14:22 rt2561.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 2005-10-26 14:22 rt2561s.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 2005-10-26 14:22 rt2661.bin

<a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/talk@pug.org/msg33415/readme">This</a> tells me that the firmware load is case sensitive !!!!

it has to be RT2561S.bin and it works fine for me !
