Hello.
First, thanks very much Serialmonkey for all your work, and sorry for my english which isn't fluently.
I've got a PCI card using chipstet RT2500, and I wish connect it to my wireless network (WEP encryption, don't use wpa_supplicant). The kernel version is 2.6.28, on ArchLinux.
--> With the Legacy driver rt2500-CVS, it works perfectly.
--> With the rt2x00 driver, it doesn't work.
Some commands :

The card seems working.

The network "MY_SSID" is seen.
Let's configure the connection :
Quote:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "MY_SSID" key 1D9A35CC94
Quote:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"MY_SSID"

The SSID and the encrytion key are loaded.
Let's continue with the Access Point :
Quote:
iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:1F:BC:41:9A:7D
Quote:
iwconfig

Damn ! Access Point isn't loaded, and
dmesg says :
Quote:
dmesg

It works very well with the Legacy driver rt2500-CVS.
What should I do for using new driver rt2x00 ?
Thank you in advance for any replies and best regards.
