Problem with make command and wireless driver

When i use the make command as user or root on a wireless driver I'm try to install i get an error/warning:

After running make,make install and blacklisting my other network modules my wireless card turns on, but when i try and connect manually or with wicd
my computer freezes or it times out.Any help with this would be appreciated.Thx

Re: Problem with make command and wireless driver

You didn't get "an error/warning" - you got warnings, which is not unusual. Your module compiled successfully, so no need to worry about the warnings.

Have a look at dmesg immediately after loading the driver, and again after attempting to connect.

Re: Problem with make command and wireless driver

When i enter my wireless info manually with: (iwconfig ra0 essid "my essid" key "my-key")
it doesn't register properly.See below

iwconfig

When i try wicd i lose control of my keyboard/mouse and have to do a hard shutdown.

Re: Problem with make command and wireless driver

Did you actually load the module once you finished compiling it?

EDIT: Never mind, I see it in your lsmod. wink

Re: Problem with make command and wireless driver

Sidenote: 2860 is supported in the kernel. Also, the drive you tried to build is in aur.

Re: Problem with make command and wireless driver

From what i can tell my driver is working properly, my wireless card turns on.I can see it with ifconfig and iwconfig.
When i run iwconfig my essid doesn't set properly and my access point is not-associated because of it.The first line of iwconfig when i run it should be
something like     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"myessid"     or     Ralink STA  ESSID:"myessid"      instead of      Ralink STA  ESSID:""  Nickname:"RT3562STA".
Is there any other way to input my essid other then         iwconfig ra0 essid "myessid" key "mykey"       .That method doesn't seem to work on this wireless card
Card Name: DWA-525

iwconfig

ra0       Ralink STA  ESSID:""  Nickname:"RT3562STA"
          Mode:Auto  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Bit Rate:1 Mb/s   
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
