Subject: RT2860 driver
Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:48:33 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B343611.6070206@gmail.com> (raw)

I have built and booted several kernel.org releases of
kernel 2.6, ever since rt2860 was added to the staging area.
I have an rt2860 mini-pci wifi card.
To make a long story short, the last kernel release I built
with rt2860 config enabled (module), that actually worked
(i.e. rt2860 driver worked) was (I think) kernel 2.6.28.

I have not been able to get it working in 2.6.[29,30,31,32]

So, what I have been doing is to copy full rt2860 directory
(which I had extracted and saved from the last working version)
into the latest kernel, and I make sure that

rt2860/config.mk has

HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y

HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y

This is the only way I can get my wireless working.

So, if anyone on this list has it working in latest kernel,
without resorting to what I am doing, please share you "how-to".

If this is the wrong list to ask about this, then please tell,
which list discusses driver problems?

Cheers,

JD
