Hi All,
I recently bought a DWL-G510 because i thought it
was supported on freebsd 6.2 trough ral device.
Unfortunately it happens that this card is a rev C2
model and, as I found later , this seem to not be
correctly handled :(
This is how the card is seen by the system:
00:13.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-G510 Rev C
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 255
Memory at f4800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Actually the if_ral module loads but it fails to associate:
ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:15:e9:b3:79:14
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
status: no carrier
ssid homenet channel 5
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit wepkey 2:40-bit
wepkey 3:40-bit wepkey 4:40-bit txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS
bintval 100
it keeps searching for the channel (it changes every time I do
an ifconfig ral0)
I saw that someone has filed a bug report on it (kern/109227),
but no progress so far.
The bug reports stats that the cards works on FreeBSD 7.0,
but as far as I tried it doesn't work for me.
I tried with ndisgen too without success.
The cards comes up but It doesn't associate.
Does anyone have any hint?
Thanks in advance
Andrea.
