no the rt2x00 module is the cvs/experimental version & not marked as stable yet.
the rt2500 driver is not yet working on 2.6.20 .... I am going back to 2.6.19 |

the rt2500pci legacy drivers are the original drivers released by realtek. Serial monkey decided to rewrite the drivers from scratch (as rt2x00) and include all the relevant modules together. The legacy drivers are no longer being developed. The rt2x00 drivers have reached beta stage, and should be stable very soon.

It's my understanding that the main purpose of the rewrite is to get the drivers into a state where they can be accepted into the kernel.

Are you certain about that? The cvs snapshots include patches for the 2.6.20 kernel so they seem to me to be maintained. Indeed, a cvs snapshot has just been added to portage by uberlord. I'm about to try it out. |

I'll double check.

| Well the new snapshot (net-wireless/rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007020911) works fine with the 2.6.20 kernel. I'm using the /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA/RT2500STA.dat file to set it up so I will try and see how this version works with configuring it through baselayout (/etc/conf.d/net). |

yeah, you're right. It is still under development. I wonder why I thought it wasn't. Good to hear its working with the new kernel.

| I tried the CVS from about 1 week ago....they did not work very well. My wireless started dropping out when I installed them. I will stick with b4 until the next stable release. |

The new snapshot (net-wireless/rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007020911) compiles and works for me with 2.6.20-gentoo.
But I have to activate the connection with RaConfig2500 on every boot by clicking "Connect" and entering the WEP-key.
1.1.0-beta4 + 2.6.20 compiles now but finds no AP (no ping) and gives error messages like described in the bug-report.
With 1.1.0-beta4 and 2.6.18-r6 in connects automatically (configuration is the same).
Unfortunately WPA does not work in any case.

I used FEATURES="-sandbox" and all compiled fine and I can auto-connect to my WPA-encripted router now

It starts now automatically with the latest nightly snapshot from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/...itle=Downloads
But I had to enter
| Code: |
iwconfig ra0 AP Mac-address of router
|
in /etc/conf.d/local.start
At least with kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r6 (did not test newer kernel yet).
Dont know if it works with the original ebuild too, but in contrast to beta4 specifying the routers MAC-adress seems to be important.
Emerged rt2500 with USE="-qt3"

Even if it automatic connect works with the
| Code: | | iwconfig ra0 AP Mac-address of router |
command, the connection is unstable then (can be restored with the above command).
Here is a patched beta4 that should compile and! work with 2.6.19 and 2.6.20.

Maybe I should make a new topic, but since some last update or something, my wireless doesn't connect anymore. I have to do it by hand:
| Code: | $ sux -
#RaConfig2500
|
And use connect there.
| Code: | kosmos ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net
#config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2/24" )
#config_ra0=( "dhcp" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_ra0=( "192.168.0.40/24" )
routes_ra0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
kosmos ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/wireless
essid_ra0="55 637 827"
#channel_ra0="11": |
And when machine is booting up, it says something about this essid_ra0 and shows only first 55 there. Maybe I'm using deprecated configuration or something....

Thank you for your quick reply. I will try those other sources then...

Those patches don't seem to work with 2.6.20. It dies to this message:
| Code: | | /var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/rt2500-9999/work/rt2500-1.1.0-b4-rob/Module/rtmp_init.c:978:62: error: macro "INIT_WORK" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2 |
This error is corrected in CVS drivers though...
EDIT: I think I must make a new topic, because I think the problem I have is unrelated... My problems started after one update where baselayout got upgraded I think. It occurs with gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r4 and -r5. rt2500 are from daily snapshot.
On bootup it prints out:
| Code: | * Configuring wireless network for ra0
iwconfig: unknown command "637"
* ra0 does not support setting ESSID to "55 637 827"
* ra0 connected to ESSID ""
* in managed mode on channel 1 (WEP disabled)
* Bringing up ra0
* 192.168.0.40/24 [ ok ]
* Adding routes
* default via 192.168.0.1 ... [ ok ] |

The patch file "rt2500-b4-patch.gz" at
ftp://mum.dyns.cx/rt2500
is against the original 1.1.0-b4 not against cvs!
The file rt2500-b4-rob.tar.gz is the ready-patched 1.1.0-b4, the only difference to 1.1.0-b4 is that it works with 2.6.19.x/2.6.20.x.
I have it successfully working with the latest stable baselayout (1.12.9) and kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r7 on my laptop and 2.6.20-gentoo-r4 on a desktop computer.
The cvs drivers work with 2.6.20 as they are, but have the described problems with autostart and unstable connection (with older kernels too).

Hi - just discovered this thread after running into some rt2500 problems. I updated my girlfriend's laptop at the week end for the first time in around 6 months. This updated the kernel to gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5 and the rt2500 driver to rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007020911.
However when I boot into the new kernel the pcmcia wireless card does not get activated - the lights don't even come on. During the boot process I can see that udev had loaded the rt2500 module (and it also appears in lsmod) and the pcmcia card is visible in lspci.
I still have the older 2.6.17 kernel with an older rt2500 module (I forget which one), and when I boot using the old kernel and rt2500 module it works fine. I assume this means that it's not a pcmciautils, udev or wireless-tools issue.
I notice that gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r6 has been marked as stable on x86 today. Can anyone confirm which combinations of kernel and rt2500 module work well together?
Thanks. |

rt2500-beta4 from portage works with kernel 2.6.18 and older ones (dont know about 2.6.19 but I heard it also makes problems there).
It does not work with 2.6.20.
The patched rt2500-beta4 from the link above
ftp://mum.dyns.cx/rt2500
works with 2.6.20, 2.6.19, 2.6.18 and some older ones.
The current cvs from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/
does work with 2.6.20, 2.6.19, 2.6.18 and some older ones, but when you use WEP the connection has to be activated with
| Code: | | iwconfig ra0 AP Mac of your router |
But maybe this problem is solved soon.
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3552
At least this is the current situation for me.
Short hint for now:
use the patched rt2500-beta4 from ftp://mum.dyns.cx/rt2500 with the current stable gentoo-sources.
