Hello:
I tried to get my RaLink working using the driver from SourgeForge. When
dtarting I get the following:

Listening on LPF/ra0/00:13:46:8a:ab:09
Sending on   LPF/ra0/00:13:46:8a:ab:09
Sending on   Socket/fallback/fallback-net
DHCPDISCOVER on ra0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
receive_packet failed on ra0: Network is down

What does "ifconfig ra0" show?

Have you set the SSID on the card to match the router?

Have you configured encryption (if used)?


Here is thee output of iwconfig ra0:
ra0       RT61 Wireless  ESSID:"Thierry1"
        Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.472 GHz  Access Point: 00:07:CB:50:76:4B
        Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
        RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
        Encryption key:0100-0000-00   Security mode:restricted
        Link Quality=83/100  Signal level:-56 dBm  Noise level:-79 dBm
        Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
        Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

What I se is that the encryption key is weard!
And yes ssid and ncryption key are set.

I feel completly at lost as I had this card working on an other PC with the same configuration.
