How To Use New Enhanced features Of rt73 chipset and WPA_Supplicant Issues Fixed

[lemmy999]

I have already tried that. Same result!!

[imported_=Tron=]

I'm trying to install the new driver as per the tutorial (BT3F installed to hdd) and keep running up against the following issue. I have extracted the driver to /tmp. Every time I try to run "cd /rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/module I get "No such file or directory".

I'm assuming that its a permissions thing but I can't work out what I need to change and how!

I have already tried that. Same result!!

But have you confirmed that you actually have the file downloaded and in this location?

Could you please post the tar command you are using to extract the files? Could give us a clue as to what is happening.

OK I have repeated the process. file was downloaded to /root and extracted (using Ark)to the same directory. Heres the output in full.

bt ~ # modprobe -r rt73
bt ~ # cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/module
-bash: cd: rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/module: No such file or directory
bt ~ # ls
Desktop/ my\ mac\ etc~ rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1.tar.bz2
new\ xorg.conf wifizoo_black_v1.3/
rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/
bt ~ #

Got it!!! Should have been cd'ing to rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1 directory and then to Module!

That'll teach me to take any command at face value without thinking things thru!

Thanks for your help anyway.

edit
Just tested my Edimax 7318 out and it works perfectly!! I'd recommend the latest driver to anyone else having trouble with an Rt73 chipset card/dongle.

c) WPA2 (802.11i)
wpa_passphrase <essid> <passphrase>
copy the psk hash(uncommented one)
iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK
iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=<KEY> #replace key with your psk-hash
iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=AES

Check that you're associated with an AP
iwconfig wlan0

# wpa_passphrase dlink swordfish
# iwpriv rausb0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK
# iwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK=c00e7508e81349c29200ea0fcfbc11b56df555a9b78 fb24a300950b7f584de71
# iwpriv rausb0 set EncrypType=AES

# iwconfig rausb0

So I did something wrong, but I am not sure what. I am using version 3.02 of the driver.
