Hello, This is impossible, the legacy rt61 driver doesn't support it. You have to use our new driver : rt2x00. Master mode is unsupported by vanilla kernels at the moment, so rt2x00 CVS is no use for you, you'll have to grab a whole new kernel from git, see the instructions here : http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rt2x00_GIT_instructions, rt2x00 comes with this kernel, keep in mind it is not considered stable yet. Regards, Romain |

I still don't understand what I need to do to be able to set master mode. Could you describe all install process at greater length? Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.19, D-Link DWL-G510 (rt61/rt2561). |

read the rt2x00 git instructions romain pointed out and download rt2x00.git since you use Gentoo we can assume you know how to compile a kernel... |

I were following GIT instructions at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rt2x00_GIT_instructions but I don't understand what I have to do after creating my branch... really... And I should use any branch name, at will? Don't know what it means. |

You don't need a branch, you need to compile the kernel... |

I've installed kernel. But if I compile drvers in kernel than it panics. Works correctly only as a module. |

So I was able to get things working and the card appears to be working correctly: filedawg bin # iwconfig ... wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"AirdawgExpress" Mode:Master Frequency:2.427 GHz Tx-Power=27 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:6539-786C-6231-38 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 ... However, when I try to scan the networking using KisMAC or my iBook or try to join the network, it doesn't appear in the list. I have only gotten ad-hoc to sorta work. I can't find any errors in 'dmesg' about this; is there anything I might be missing? I basically have the following in my /etc/conf.d/net (Gentoo): essid_wlan0="test" mode_wlan0="master" channel_wlan0="4" config_wlan0=( "192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.3.255" ) Any help would be appreciated! I am using the rt2x000 drivers with the RT61 chipset. |

I almost forgot! I am using the GIT kernel: Linux filedawg.moocow.home 2.6.23-rc4-g1dff65b1 #1 Mon Sep 17 08:31:18 CDT 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux And my previous snapshot mentioned a WEP key. I have tried it both ways and neither cause anything to come up using KisMAC or when trying to simply join the network regularly. |

Please compile rt2x00 with debug enabled. Also you will need hostapd for master mode capabilities. |

Hi there, I am very interested to run rt61pci in master mode. Could you point me to some instruction or document on setting it up? Thanks a lot! |

Hello, None of our driver support this mode, it has been disabled because it's currently broken. Regards, Romain |

Hello Spy, Do you mean that the new 2x00 driver doesn't support master mode ? |

Master mode is enabled in rt2x00, you will need Johannes Berg's patches for mac80211 to add support for master mode to mac80211. |
