Re: SIOCSIFFLAGS (was Re: Determining the driver for a network device [was: Re: Ralink])
En/na Arnaud Patard (Rtp) ha escrit:
Just a thing:
when I run "ifconfig wlan0 up" it returns me:
ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
iirc it's for something like "set interface flags" but that won't help
you.
What may help is to know that the rt73 chipset needs a firmware and that
this firmware is loaded when doing 'ifconfig wlan0 up'.
99% of time I've seen this message was to say that this firmware is
missing. Look for /lib/firmware/rt73.bin on your system.

Arnaud, first of all, thanks for answering.
Secondly, let's do it step by step:
1) I have a usb wifi key Conceptronic C54RU
2) Following
[http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Hardware], this hardward
has to work with driver rt2570, not with rt73 (!)
3) Following
[http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Latest%20News],
rt2x00-project has two flavors: enhanced Ralink legacy drivers and
rt2x00 drivers
4) I supposed that rt2500, rt2570, rt61 and rt73 are all drivers and
rt2x00 is the new drivers (is it correct?)
So, first, why the kernel loads this interface with rt73 driver?
Secondly, I want to use **new** drivers, rt2x00 drivers that are now
present in the kernel (2.6.24 and following kernels; I use
2.6.26-1-ixp4xx kernel in slug). If I run "lsmod", I think that kernel
loads this driver:
lsmod

So, how can I "change" the driver for this interface?
And finally, where (or how) can I find rt73.bin on my system? This is
only if I want to do with the old driver?

Xan.
