I made this module and it is in the release_candidate area.
It is not an extension yet. I wanted feedback, as I don't have such device. It is only a single module, so I would suspect only an insmod rt2500 would be needed and not modprobe. The difference between these commands is for loading of other dependent modules, which there are none. So, I would think a simple insmod rt2500 and then apply your iwconfig commands. Still waiting feeback. You can grab it here
copy it into /home/dsl and load it like this -
sudo insmod /home/dsl/rt2500.o
Then use the iwconfig gui with ra0 instead of eth0
Please let me know |

Roberts i restarted our conversation here as it was kinda buried in another off topic post elsewhere.
Heres whats coming up with that module
| Code Sample | | insmod /mnt/hda5/rt2500.o |
reports that lo and ra0 are both there
| Code Sample | | iwconfig ra0 essid my_essid key 1A23B45CD6 mode managed |
seems to work as well...
Then i do:
and the system freezes, i lose keyboard control and mouse control.
If i use the DSL Control Panel widget and set up Wlanconfig all is well, then when i set up the Iwconfig from inside the DSL Control Panel widget again the system freezes me out losing keyboard and mouse control.
this is under DSL 2.0~2.1b under DSL 1.5 I can get the wifi working using a package one of our forum members sent along to me.
So being a big noob i'm not sure where to proceed from here, any assistance greatly apreciated.
Have tried this on both gateway solo 2500--366mhz Mobile PII--288mb ram and IBM thinkpad--366mhz Mobile Celeron--256mb ram
Results are consistent.
Thanks,
Rob
