Package: linux-2.6
Severity: grave
Version: 2.6.29-2
I have an ASUS 1000H with the WiFi:
01:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2860
When I tried to use this card with kernel 2.6.29, my attempt did not
lead me to success.
I installed the module rt2860sta and tried to apply a few
WiFi-parameters (essid). The module answered me:
[27377.884113] RX DESC f2b46000 size = 2048
[27377.884941] <-- RTMPAllocTxRxRingMemory, Status=0
[27377.888709] --> Error 2 opening /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat
[27377.888723] 1. Phy Mode = 0
[27377.888730] 2. Phy Mode = 0

Debian does not contain any files/directories with path /etc/Wireless:
nba:[/home/dimka]# apt-file search /etc/Wireless|wc -l
0
The module does not apply any parameters, example:
nba:[/home/dimka]# iwconfig ra0 essid test
nba:[/home/dimka]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
ra0 RT2860 Wireless ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT2860STA"
Mode:Auto Frequency=2.422 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:1 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Link Quality=50/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:-97 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I think that If the module needs in firmware, then it must be placed
into /lib/firmware/. I am in some doubt that file RT2860STA.dat is a
config file.
