hello community

I managed to get my wireless card with rt61 chipset work with my lan (lpr prnter, ssh server, ping)
But getting acces to internet does not work.

I setup static ip:

Code Sample

ifconfig ra0 192.168.101.174 up

And setup gateway:

Code Sample

route add default gw 192.168.101.1 ra0

resolv.conf sets dns to 192.168.101.1 (which is my wireless router)

There is a nearly same topic here, but without posted solution.

any idea?

have fun

Daniel

i'm kind of a n00b myself but how about adding the netmask after the ifconfig command for example
ifconfig ra0 192.168.101.174 netmask 255.255.255.0

i had to do this in order to set up my wireless pcmcia card to my wireless router

Out of curiosity, how did you get your rt61 card working?

Is it pci or pcmcia? Ralink, serialmonkey r2x00 linux drivers, or ndiswrapper?

@Wittfella:
It is a Conceptronic 54 Mbit/s PCMCIA-Card with rt61 Chipset. I installed kernel source and compiler and recompiled the
sources from Ralink to get a working module. If I get it work 100% I'll post a short installation howto.

@cablehead:
does not help.

Got it work.

I wrote a small howto to "tips and tricks"-section.
