Re: Wireless Woe - Please Help


Sorry, I am out of ideas. Clearly your system is communicating with the
router (iwlist) but the router does not like your system. You could try putting your router onto a different freq (1 6 or 11 bands
are the usual recommendation) to see if it is interference.
Has your wireless card worked with anything?

hmm, yes i think switching freqs might be worth a try, since there seems to be someone else working on the same frequency as me in my neighbourhood.
First thing i need to do though is go to sleep, since its already past midnight here in Germany ;-)

The wireless card is new, i haven't tried it with anything else. Obviously i could also consider trying it out under windoze to see if its defective.

I have noticed that similiar (similiar not identical) problems do seem to occur to other users of this card ever so often though. My last resort will be to remove ndiswrapper and the pre-installed native linux rt61 driver by serialmonkey and download and compile the linux firmware directly from ralink. Judging from the many postings i have googled so far on the subject, this seems to be a messy task i would have been happy to avoid.

Thanks for your help, i'll post the solution here in case i find it.
