Did you test it? How well did it work? It probably makes more sense to move specific chipsets out of that group. (In reply to comment #1) > Did you test it? How well did it work? I can't fully test it - there is no any Wi-Fi accesspoints in the vicinity of the PC I'm playing with. I know this sounds really weird but it is true - no AP I can connect to :). I'll try it on a different PC soon. > It probably makes more sense to move specific chipsets out of that group. Created attachment 477239 [details]
Add rt2870 device id
Tested on my machine - it allows scanning for wi-fi networks and basic wi-fi info fetching. I still didn't test AP joining.
Associating with the ap is, of course, a critical requirement. :-) Please report on that as well. Created attachment 485638 [details]
Patch rebased against latest 2.6.38
Hello!
Sorry for radio silence - I was busy recompiling kernel rpm for my F-15 ppc box.
Now I can confirm that all works fine with the patch above (or with RT2800USB_UNKNOWN is set) and kernel 2.6.38 (rpm version - kernel-2.6.38-1.fc15). I'm able to join WPA2-protected network with AES key management, get IPv6 and login with ssh from another machine.
Ok, John - what should I do next? I've got also few simple rt2x00 patches in my Git tree (including this one) - maybe I should post them into linux-wireless? https://github.com/lemenkov/linux-2.6-oxnas/commits/rt2x00 Those all seem reasonable to me -- please post them to linux-wireless. Thanks! (In reply to comment #7) > Those all seem reasonable to me -- please post them to linux-wireless. Thanks! Done! I think it's time to close this ticket. |
