ModelName:
===========
RT61 Wireless Lan Linux Driver
=======================================================================
Driver lName:
===========
rt61.o/rt61.ko
=======================================================================
Supporting Kernel:
===================
linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series.
Tested in Redhat 7.3 or later.
=======================================================================
Description:
=============
This is a linux device driver for Ralink RT61 a/b/g WLAN Card.
=======================================================================
Contents:
=============
Makefile.4 : Makefile for kernel 2.4 series
Makefile.6 : Makefile for kernel 2.6 series
Makefile.RTL865x : Makefile for big endian platform
*.c : c files
*.h : header files
=======================================================================
Features:
==========
This driver implements basic IEEE802.11. Infrastructure and adhoc mode with
open or shared or WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication method.
NONE, WEP, TKIP and AES encryption.
=======================================================================
Build Instructions:
====================
1> $tar -xvzf RT61_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x.tar.gz
go to "./RT61_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/Module" directory.
2> $cp Makefile.4 ./Makefile # [kernel 2.4]
or
$cp Makefile.6 ./Makefile # [kernel 2.6]
or
$cp Makefile.RTL865x ./Makefile # big endian platform
3> [kernel 2.4]
$chmod 755 Configure
$make config # config build linux os version
4> $make all # compile driver source code
5> $cp rt2561.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/ # copy firmware
$cp rt2561s.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/
$cp rt2661.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/
6> $dos2unix rt61sta.dat
$cp rt61sta.dat /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat
# !!!check if it is a binary file before loading !!!
7> $load
#[kernel 2.4]
# $/sbin/insmod rt61.o
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
#[kernel 2.6]
# $/sbin/insmod rt61.ko
# $/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
Note: Script functionality:
load load module to kernel
unload unload module from kernel
Configure retrieve linux version
=======================================================================
CONFIGURATION:
====================
RT61 driver can be configured via following interfaces,
i.e. (i)"iwconfig" command, (ii)"iwpriv" command, (iii) configuration file,
(iv)RaConfig61
i) iwconfig comes with kernel.
ii) iwpriv usage, please refer to file "iwpriv_usage.txt" for details.
iii)copy configuration file "rt61sta.dat" to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat.
iv) RaConfig61 is utility for rt61.
Configuration File : rt61sta.dat
---------------------------------------
# Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat
# This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt.o module.
#
# Use "vi -b rt61sta.dat" to modify settings according to your need.
#
# 1.) set NetworkType to "Adhoc" for using Adhoc-mode, otherwise using Infrastructure
# 2.) set Channel to "0" for auto-select on Infrastructure mode
# 3.) set SSID for connecting to your Accss-point.
# 4.) AuthMode can be "WEPAUTO", "OPEN", "SHARED", "WPAPSK", "WPA2PSK", "WPANONE"
# 5.) EncrypType can be "NONE", "WEP", "TKIP", "AES"
# for more information refer to the Readme file.
#
# The word of "[Default]" must not be removed

MORE INFORMATION
=================================================================================
If you want for rt61 driver to auto-load at boot time:
A) choose ra0 for first RT61 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT61 WLAN card, etc.
B) create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,
edit( or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf:
alias ra0 rt61
C) edit(create) the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ra0
DEVICE='ra0'
ONBOOT='yes'
NOTE:
if you use dhcp, add this line too .
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
*D) To ease the Default Gateway setting,
add the line
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
in /etc/sysconfig/network
