Hello,

I'm using Fedora 7 which includes rt2x00 as module in the kernel.
Previously (<= kernel 2.6.23.1-21.fc7), the rt2x00 driver was working fine. I use rt2500usb.
Now, with the latest updates of the kernel (2.6.23.8-34.fc7 (Dec '07) and 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 (Jan '08 )) the wifi doesn't work anymore though the card seems well configured and recognized.
The version of the driver is
Code:
# modinfo rt2500usb -k 2.6.23.1-21.fc7 -F version
2.0.8             (was working)

# modinfo rt2500usb -k 2.6.23.8-34.fc7 -F version
2.0.10             (doesn't work)

# modinfo rt2500usb -k 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 -F version
2.0.13             (doesn't work)


iwconfig and ifconfig give:
Code:
IWCONFIG
          wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The scan is working and my network is recognized:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 scan

                              12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
                    Extra:tsf=00000000ad31818e

But I cannot ping my router:
Code:
ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms
, pipe 3


In dmesg I have the following error:
Code:
usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2500usb
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:06:25:fa:ea:75

wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:06:25:fa:ea:75
wlan0: authentication with AP 00:06:25:fa:ea:75 timed out


Can you help me
Thanks

PS: perhaps it's the same problem as http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/v ... php?t=4534

It does seem likely that it is the same error.

Ok, with the ast version of the kernel (2.6.23.14-64.fc7 on fedora 7) the timeout problem is resolved.
The version of rt2500usb is now
Code:
/sbin/modinfo rt2500usb -F version
2.0.14


BUT, I experience now VERY POOR connection (Link Quality => 7% !! ) and as a result I loose my connection after a while.

This is probably connected with other recent threads for the rt2500 on this forum...
