 |
|
Hi guys,
let me show how i handle different ap's with the rt61-driver in /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
key_ESSID1="384d74624245767458652d384c enc open"
config_ESSID1=("192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0")
routes_ESSID1=("default via 192.168.0.1")
dns_servers_ESSID1=( "217.237.149.225" )
key_ESSID2="35677288412346404F2505B6A0 enc open"
config_ESSID2=("192.168.1.8 netmask 255.255.255.0")
routes_ESSID2=("default via 192.168.1.1" )
dns_servers_ESSID2=( "145.253.2.11" )
# you could use dhcp too
# config_ESSID2=( "dhcp" )
preferred_aps=( "ESSID1" "ESSID2")
postup() {
if [ ${IFACE} = "ra0" ];
then
ESSIDSTR=`iwconfig | grep -o -w -E 'ESSID:"([a-zA-Z]+)' | awk '// {print substr($0,8,30);}'`
case $ESSIDSTR in
ESSID1)
iwpriv ra0 set Channel=6
iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infra
iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=SHARED
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=WEP
iwpriv ra0 set DefaultKeyID=1
iwconfig ra0 key "384d74624245767458652d384c"
exit 0
;;
ESSID2)
iwpriv ra0 set Channel=11
iwpriv ra0 set NetworkType=Infra
iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=SHARED
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=WEP
iwpriv ra0 set DefaultKeyID=1
iwpriv ra0 set Key1="35677288412346404F2505B6A0"
exit 0
;;
esac
fi
exit 0
}

No need for /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat then.
Please don't worry because of my WEP-issue. I know about the security of WEP. Adjusting the script for WPA2 is your homework 
Hope, it's helpful for someone.
regards

btw. there is an annoying output from iwlist-command while booting. how i can avoid this?

Here's how I did it
If I'm using iwconfig, dhcp doesn't work.
I'm using the rt61 driver for a Edimax EW-7128g PCI.
Use ralink-rt61 driver if appropriate in your case...
Also, I'm on 2.6.21-rc4-mm1 as rt61 doesn't compile correctly on newer kernel versions. See my post

I have a kernel 2.6.21 on X86_64 and x86 - the CVS 20070601 compiles fine, dropping some compilation error messages. With iwconfig it drops an error message stating some version problems -
| Quote: | Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 21.
Some things may be broken...

, but this version works with iwconfig fine otherwise.

Apparently, something 's changed in the mm-sources, making rt61 fail to compile.
I'm currently on viper-sources without any problems.
