Hi, I have a problem with the rt73usb driver in-kernel

When i try to connect to my access point:

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid reteseria channel 11 key 2455000*** enc open rate 54M

not work, dmesg says:

usbcore: registered new interface driver rt73usb
phy1 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt73.bin'.

Or:

wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1b:2f:f0:80:a8 try 3
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1b:2f:f0:80:a8 timed out

Iwconfig:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"reteseria"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=off
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B

Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0


If i put up the wlan0 with iwconfig first of iwconfig and i do the command above it says "device busy"

If use a wlan assistant the debug message into the shell say "Interface not support scanning"

I've used always the driver rt73cvs-daily but with the kernel 2.6.29 not compile for this reason i have necessity to use in-kernel driver

Thanks for the support

AFAIK (I don't remember where I found this reply) with Gentoo and in-kernel rt73 wifi support, you have to emerge (masked)



I didn't found anywhere on RT2x00 docs, but on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204314

It is already installed:

And dmesg say phy1 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Firmware detected - version: 1.7

Hello,
Make sure the interface is down when you are running "iwconfig", changing parameters such the mode requires that the interface is down.

Well problem solved.

After a lot of blasphemies i have activated the support for PHY Device support and infrastructure (PHYLIB) in kernel and all problems solved.

Works fine, good driver.

Thanks for it
