I have been having all sorts of trouble attempting to make knoppmyth work with my foxconn wll-3350 with a rt2500 chipstet.

It appears that my card was detected and the correct modules were installed but it fails to pull an ip address. Iwconfig prodcues the following output:

Code:
root@chunk:~# iwconfig
eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  IEEE 802.11g  Frequency:2.412 GHz
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"dd-wrt"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Encryption key:off

sit0      no wireless extensions.



No matter what I do I can't get the card to associate with the access point dd-wrt that currently is not encrypted. I have an Ubuntu box with this exact same card connected no problem so I know it has to be some sort of setting.

I even tried to build the module from source using the module-assistant but get this error:
Code:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-chw-13'
rt2500.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1


Any help would be appreciated as I've been going nuts.

Here is the output from lscpi. It seems the rt2500 module has loaded but is not being used by anything ?

dmesg also had this listed at the very end. Don't know if it will help or not

Code:
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: starting scan
wlan0: scan completed
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: starting scan
wlan0: scan completed
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present


Any ideas?

I've had the same problem which i've been trying to fix today. I've found that because iwconfig gives both wlan0 and wmaster0 this means its using the new combined drivers (for rt2400,rt2500 etc...), we need to use the old driver for the rt 2500 according the a post i found on the drivers forum.

I've managed to get a working connection again but not from boot up. To get a working connection:

remove rt2500pci (new beta driver) module and rt2500 (old driver that works) module (both are loaded on my system?):

>modprobe -r rt2500pci
>modprobe -r rt2500

then load the old driver again

>modprobe rt2500 ifname=ra0

iwconfig should now show ra0. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add:

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_key open <yourkey>
wireless_essid <your essid>
wireless_channel 6

next, bring the interface up:

>ifup ra0

hopefully you should get an dhcp offer and test the connection.

I'm still stuck on how to get this to work on boot up as it still loads the rt2500pci module. I've tried editing /etc/modules and changing rt2500pci to rt2500 but no change.

I don't really (ie at all) understand whats happening on startup so any help greatly appreciated.

The problem is that the system is using the 80211 kernel module instead of rt2500, notice it in the "wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"dd-wrt"" line. I tried adding it to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, removing it from /etc/modules, but it was still loading. Finally, I just moved it out of /lib/modules and into /tmp. Reboot, and it works perfectly now.

Still, you'll have to edit /etc/network/interfaces to point it to wlan0 instead of the old ra0 device.

Adding the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces should get it to work after reboot:

auto ra0
iface ra0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_key open <yourkey>
wireless_essid <your essid>
wireless_channel 6
pre-up modprobe -r rt2500pci
pre-up modprobe -r rt2500
pre-up modprobe rt2500 ifname=ra0
