I bought a Belkin F5D7050 from
www.linux-emporium.co.uk on the basis
that it was a Ralink chipset with open source drivers. As usual, Belkin
had changed the chipset without changing the model number - only to
another Ralink chipset, but I've had major difficulty getting this
working. I've got it sort-of-working with Ralink's open source drivers,
but barely useable. So I'm now trying ndiswrapper. I have installed the
latest ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant - 1.17 and 0.4.9 respectively.
I've followed the instructions for ndiswrapper and get
[root@halmos src]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed drivers:
rt73 driver installed, hardware present
so that seems OK. But I can't get wpa_supplicant to configure the
interface properly. If anybody can make any sense of the following
output from
[root@halmos src]# wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 \
-Dndiswrapper -dddd &> wpa_supplicant.out
then I'd be very grateful. As far as I can tell from Google nobody has
managed to make an rt73 based device work with ndiswrapper.
Thanks for any help.
