My system is an Asus eeePC 1000H with a Ralink RT2860, this is the device info: ral0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x27901814 chip=0x07811814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Ralink corp.' device = 'RT2860' class = network I had to manually edit sys/dev/ral/if_ral_pci.c, because the card is identified as a RT2790. I also had to remove device ral from my kernel config file because it couldn't be linked with the kernel. After rebooting the machine, I kldloaded the module by hand. I got an "The invalid EEPROM LNA gain" and the "could not find extension channel" errors. I saw a previous post telling us not to worry too much about them, but I have to say they still appear. This is the exact trace that I got: ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2860> mem 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci1 ral0: invalid EEPROM LNA gain #2: 0x00 ral0: invalid EEPROM LNA gain #3: 0x00 ral0: invalid EEPROM powersave level ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x28720200), RF RT3022 2.4G 2T2R ral0: skip channel 10, could not find extension channel ral0: skip channel 11, could not find extension channel ral0: skip channel 12, could not find extension channel ral0: skip channel 13, could not find extension channel ral0: skip channel 14, could not find extension channel I cannot associate with any AP. I changed those AP to ensure they were not using any of the channels in the range of 10..14 (those channels are the ones ral0 complains with an skip channel message). I can't even do an scan, ifconfig wlan0 list scan up returns an empty list. How can I proceed further? Can I provide you any additional information?
