Hello, I've been trying to get a wireless card of mine working with a new install of freebsd 7.1, but I've been unable to associate with the access point. >From pciconf -lv, it appears the chipset is Ralink RT2561/RT61. The documentation for ral doesn't mention this particular chipset, but there seems to be a consensus on various forums that this chipset is supported by ral. I've added the following lines to /boot/loader.conf: if_ral_load="YES" wlan_scan_ap_load="YES" wlan_scan_sta_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" And am using the following ifconfig command ifconfig ral0 ssid <MYSSID> authmod shared wepmode on \ deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:<MYKEY> But ifconfig shows status as "no carrier." The authentication is all correct (I've triple checked everything, and am using the same authentication on a linux laptop). The signal strength should be fine (the box was previously running linux, with very good signal strength). When I ran wlandebug -i ral0 +scan+auth+assoc the only error I receive is: "shared key auth failed (reason 15)" At this point I'm stymied. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Jim
