Hello all,
I do not have a problem so I decided to post this in the discussion area. I am using netcfg to connect to networks on my eeepc 1000he with rt2860. Now, as suggested by the wiki for 1000he, it is required that I use the iwpriv tools instead of the iwconfig tools. However, as far as I can tell from the wiki netcfg uses the iwconfig tools so I was having trouble getting the netcfg to connect profiles. So, I noticed that this would help
CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection"
INTERFACE="ra0"
SECURITY="wep"
ESSID="myWifi"
KEY="6115252000"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=20
PRE_UP="ifconfig ra0 up ; iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=WEP ; iwpriv ra0 set DefaultKeyID=1 "
Its the two iwpriv settings I made PRE_UP that make connection work.
Lets discuss the quirks with rt2860 and work arounds for the need for iwpriv. i.e. wicd
thanks,

I figured maybe this example profile could help someone having problems with rt2860 and netcfg. -brahan
