I have bought the linksys WUSB54GC usb wireless adapter. I attempted to use the following pages for help:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RT73_Wireless
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … eta_driver
Both of them appear to not do it.
This is what I get after dhcpcd wlan0:
dhcpcd: wlan0: up_interface: No such file or directory
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
What should I do?
Offline
Ok, I added the following to /etc/rc.conf in MODULES:
!rt2800pci !rt2x00pci !rt2800usb !rt2x00usb
Now, there is no error when I run ifconfig wlan0 up. dhcpcd doesn't give that "No such file or directory" error anymore. The only problem is dhcpcd keeps timing out
I get:
[root@localhost brad]# dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd: version 5.2.1 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd: timed out

After an update, dhcpcd does nothing at all. Now I can't even connect. I'll try it with ubuntu and see if it works there.

You have to be connected before launching dhcpcd. What does iwconfig say?

I know. I ran:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "myaccesspoint" key 1234567
It returns no errors

Ok, I downloaded an ubuntu ISO and burned it to a DVD because ubuntu seems to recognize hardware out of the box. It recognized it, but just like arch, wouldn't let me connect to a network
Offline
What I was asking is the message you receive if you launch simply
iwconfig
a minute after your
iwconfig wlan0 essid "myaccesspoint" key 1234567
You can verify by this way you have a connection before launching dhcpcd.

wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"2WIRE167"

Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
It has the network as I said before. I just can't use dhcpcd.
Should I try my luck with ndiswrapper? Which driver should I use?

Instead of using dhcpcd, try using pump, dhclient, or udhcpc.

dhcpcd is not the problem...

Would it be the fact that maybe my router is not Wireless G?....that would suck. I'll go and check
EDIT:
It is wireless G

Is your wireless network encrypted?

hmm. I have exactly the same adaptor working.
firatly, run as root (sudo),
# ifconfig wlan0 up
then,
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "accesspoint" key 1234567890
and finally,
# dhcpcd wlan0
For iwconfig, the access point needs to be in quotes. and did you run ifconfig?. It should work.

Those are exactly the commands I ran.
ifconfig wlan0 up returns:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Problem there, I just don't know what is supposed to provide "SIOCSIFFLAGS"
EDIT: I think it's a problem with the firmware. Any recommendations? What driver do you use?

during install i just ticked the rt71 and rt61 wireless drivers, even though the chipset is rt73. i found that without those drivers, it cant run.

I have both of these installed and I still get the error

For RT73, you just need its firmware. Install the package rt2x00-rt71w-fw
Edit: I just saw that you backlisted some modules in your rc.conf. You can use those modules, as they are the open driver for ralink cards. Actually, the modules I use are:
$ lsmod | grep rt
rt73usb 20605 0
rt2500usb 16250 0
rt2x00usb 6540 2 rt73usb,rt2500usb
rt2x00lib 22084 3 rt73usb,rt2500usb,rt2x00usb
That's with a ralink rt73usb, so I don't know if I need rt2500usb, but it does no harm.

Thanks I tried those modules and still got that error

With the firmware package installed? O_o I have only seen that error when trying to use the wifi card without the firmware...

In that case, I'm out.

Ahh, I need to get this to work. Why is the firmware not found?!?
dmesg shows this:
