*Hi
For a couple of months ago, I bought a wireless network card for a
stationary computer
D-Link * *AirPlus G DWL-G510 (PCI)
IIRC, there are several versions of this card, with different chipsets
on them.
I got the one with a RaLink chipset, and were happy to find out, that
ralink provided drivers for this chipset.
Afer downloading the driver for RT61 wireless cards from RaLink, i
followed this very nice howto
http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Setting_up_RT61_Wireless_Cards
It was success at first hit, and I am currently running it together with
a Linksys AP, set up with WPA-PSK.
**After setting up my wireless interface, it connects just fine, and
iwconfig shows something like (unimportant output removed):*
*ra0 RT61 Wireless ESSID:"SolidAP"
Mode:Managed Frequency:11 MHz Access Point: 00:16:B6:97:41:84
Link Quality=61/100 Signal level:-80 dBm Noise level:-111 dBm
0 errors, 0 invalid etc.
Now, to the problem:
After a random amount of time (sometimes minutes, sometimes days), it
looses the association with the ESSID, and never reconnects.
iwconfig outputs:
**ra0 RT61 Wireless ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:11 MHz Access Point: 00:16:B6:97:41:84
Link Quality=0/100 Signal level:-80 dBm Noise level:-111 dBm
**Why does it loose the association ?
And even weirder, a simple /etc/init.d/network restart does NOT help, I
have to do the following in order:
stop network
rmmod the driver module
insmod it again
start network
before it gets the ESSID back.
Any clue ?
