HELP RT2500 wifi, pci, sabayon refuses to connect sits at 28

[mikey0000]

I believe once apon a time i have come across this problem, the card is a ralink card.

ok heres the details, i ran ifconfig, everthing is fine, i can see wireless networks not a problem.
but i go to connect and it say could not connect to "foo"
so i loaded knetwork manager in terminal as root and got some sort of server error and when i next went to connect it crashed after failing.
i cant connect to a physical wire as im in a hall and the computer is a desktop.
im running sabayon 3.4e if it has been fixed in f ill just download that.

should i try with nisrapper or whatever its called??

Cheers and thank you

also how do i set up password and user name for a proxy, probably need to know how to do the proxy too just in case i got it wrong from the gentoo wiki.

28% is initial connection , 57% is wpa / wep , 82% is dhcp or at least on mine it works like this.

English plz = might be blocked in the router or having signal issues. If signal issues try another channel in the wifi router or move portable landline phone's or power saving light bulbs or ionizers of any sort = worked for me.

It is more than likely the driver / firmware that does this not sure. Have to try the easiest of these and lastly the driver / firmware / ndiswrapper + windows .inf driver .

Current related firmware / driver in portage of 3.4 mini / cd 32bit.

Code: Select all

Proxy if not in the wiki on top of the page or the forums then I would think it needs to be set in kde control panel or manually as root in terminal.

Also see post for "ktor" / kde tor / privoxy front end , might be of interest to you.

Hope this helps.
