Hello, Does anybody knows if the rt61 driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com works under centos 5? And if so, what is the recommended command to build this driver from sources, 'make install' or 'make install-fedora'? Thanks a lot! I need this driver for my ralink wlan card on my notebook. I also could build this driver u...

Hello, Maybe someone will run into the same problem, so here is how it works for me. I could not get work my wlan card (ralink rt61) with the driver from rt2x00.serialmonkey.com under CentOS 5 (2.6.18-8.1.1.el5). All drivers (beta and daily cvs) from this site freezes my system. So I get the driver from the Ralink support at http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html (RT2501PCI/mPCI/CB(RT2561/RT2661)). With this d...

...possible to connect this laptop with an Ethernet cable to my desktop PC's unused Ethernet card, and then connect it to the internet? In that case, I wonder if I have to bridge the desktop PC's network interfaces (wlan0 and eth0). That said, I don't even know if the driver for wlan0 (rt61) allows any bridging. Or maybe simply configure a different subnet, but then, what would the network configuration look like on the laptop and on the desktop PC? Any suggestions for that? Cheers, Niki

HI I admit up front that I know just enough about wireless networking to know that I don't know much at all about it. That said, I'm hoping someone can help me learn a little bit... Specifically, could a laptop running Centos 5.1 be expected to (be able to) connect to a wireless access point using WPA2 security settings? I don't know if WPA depends on hardware support, or if

.... On my personal laptop I have the Red Hat Deployment Guide, as well as some more CentOS-specific docs. I have a list of 40 or so items that I will have to take care of in the following days or weeks, maybe months: "minimal install?", "yum?", "configure wireless rt2500, rt61, ipw3945?", "find extra repos for multimedia stuff?", etcetera. I just went to take a peek at IRC, and "Arrfab" told me the main communication channel for CentOS was this mailing list. Cheers from France, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Any hope of getting my laptop's Broadcom BCM94311 wireless running on CentOS 5? I find lots of references to using fwcutter to get the needed firmware from Windows drivers, but there's a Catch-22: Version of fwcutter that generate files for the bcm43xx driver in CentOS 5 don't recognize the md5sum of any currently available Windows driver. Newer versions of fwcutter
