On ralink site there is new drvier for rt61 based wireless cards. This new driver supports kernels 2.6.24 and newer so it should be immediately updated -- driver in portage does not support new kernels. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 153321 [details] new ebuild
Created attachment 153323 [details] patch correcting the Makefile.6 without this patch driver can not be compiled
Will anybody authorize my pathches? Without this one is unable to compile ralink drivers on kernels >= 2.6.24
I'd really like to see this get into the tree - still booting 2.6.23 as I'm having major problems with the kernel driver in 2.6.24. Plus my system is configured to use the ebuild and it's been working perfectly since day one. Don't see the need to change. One thing Michael, I've copied your new ebuild & patch into my local overlay, but despite my attempts to edit it, I just cannot get your patch to apply. The ebuild always fails. Are you sure the extra_cflags.patch is fine? Do you have it in your own local overlay?
Created attachment 161245 [details] modified ralink-rt61-1.1.2.1.ebuild requires new Makefile.diff
Created attachment 161246 [details, diff] Makefile.diff cflags addon from the above patch which I couldn't get to work either.

Created attachment 165062 [details] emerge ralink_rt61 failed patch
Created attachment 165063 [details] My edited, and probably incorrect, Makefile.diff
I'm very new to Gentoo, so please excuse me if I make a mistake or two. I hoped that this driver would help install the firmware for my RT61 card, since I've been typing "ifconfig wlan1 up" and getting this "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". When I tried to "ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/ralink_rt61/ralink-rt61-1.1.2.2.ebuild digest", it returned this error: !!! /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/ralink_rt61/ralink-rt61-1.1.2.2.ebuild does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure. I renamed it to ralink_rt61-1.1.2.2.ebuild, and tried again: ebuild /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/ralink_rt61/ralink_rt61-1.1.2.2.ebuild digest This time it seemed to work, replying: " >>> Creating Manifest for /usr/local/portage/net-wireless/ralink_rt61" So I typed "emerge ralink_rt61" but it failed, saying: " Failed Patch: Makefile.diff !" and it gave me a file to include in a bugreport, which I've attached. It says that the patch has a problem with line 4. I examined line 4, which says: +++ 2008_0506_RT61_Linux_STA_v1.1.2.1/Module/Makefile.6 2008-07-24 18:22:00.000000000 +1000 and noticed that it refers to the wrong ebuild. It should say "1.1.2.2" instead of "1.1.2.1" (I think -- remember, I'm new to this). I corrected this, and redigested the files, but it still doesn't work. It gives me the same Makefile.diff-*.out, but with a slightly different name.
Created attachment 165389 [details, diff] Newer Makefile.diff I updated the version numbers although they dont appear to change much. Jeremy I think your newer Makefile.diff didnt work as there were no (eol) characters , if you look your file is a little smaller than this one. Well spotted though.

Created attachment 169026 [details] New Ebuild ralink-rt61-1.1.2.2-r1 A new ebuild for 2.6.26 kernels up to 2.6.27 requires rtmp_main2.diff and Makefile.diff Thanks to Jeff Chen and the crew at Ralink :-)

2 I've tried to apply the idea from http://jaux.net/uploads/2008/10/hybrid_wl-5.10.27.6_patch-2.6.27 to the function calls of iwe_stream_add_event in the file Module/rtmp_info.o; It seems to accept the changes but it then complains about the iwe_stream_add_pointer and iwe_stream_add_event functions not having enough arguments - I've tried fixing that in the same way but the compiled module kills the keyboard as soon as I try to bring ra0 up so apparently blindly adding 'info' as the first argument with these functions doesn't work :-) I'm running 2.6.27-gentoo-r1 with linux-headers-2.6.27-r2
Created attachment 170603 [details, diff] patch for 2.6.27 kernels
Created attachment 170604 [details] New Ebuild ralink-rt61-1.1.2.2-r2 requires: Makefile.diff,rtmp_main2.diff and rtmp_info.diff
Apparently blindly adding 'info' as the first argument with these functions does work :-) Thanks for the tip. Maybe the way you have your card setup in /etc/conf.d/net needs tweaking ? Mine is like this: modules=( "!iwconfig" "!wpa_supplicant" ) key_ra0="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx enc open" config_ra0=( "192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) postup() { if [ ra0 == ${IFACE} ]; then ifconfig ra0 mtu 1300 fi } also don't forget to edit /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat I tried this ebuild on a 2.6.27-gentoo-r2 kernel with 2.6.25-r4 headers. :-)
Thanks for keeping this ebuild alive Brett, one suggestion, latest r2 ebuild fails on older kernels (I'm using 2.6.25 here atm due to vmware module issues, but that's another story) - I'm assuming it's the rtmp_info patch - might be an idea to modify the ebuild to check for kernel 2.6.27 (and above? - I don't know about 2.6.26) before applying this patch. Anyway I've masked the r2 ebuild until 2.6.26/27 are usable for me.
Created attachment 170706 [details] Revised Ebuild ralink-rt61-1.1.2.2-r2 This ebuild should be better for varied kernel versions. :-) still requires: Makefile.diff,rtmp_main2.diff and rtmp_info.diff

I have never used this card before, so it could very well be that I'm making mistakes here... I've cleaned out my own overlay and added your files, but my keyboard is still being hijacked by the wireless module. The compilation and modprobing goes without trouble, but as soon as I do "ifconfig ra0 inet 192.168.1.1 up" the physical keyboard stops working. The SSH connections I have open from another computer work as normal, and as soon as I take ra0 down the keyboard starts working again. If I press a button on the physical keyboard while bringing ra0 up this key will get stuck (so pressing "j" a few times will result in an infinite amount of j's, until I bring ra0 down). While ra0 is up I cannot establish new connections with the computer over eth0. dmesg shows the following three lines: [518070.250277] RT61: RfIcType= 3 [518080.593938] ra0: no IPv6 routers present [518159.868628] RT61: Vendor = 0x1814, Product = 0x0301 It doesn't seem to report anything disturbing. My wireless section in /etc/conf.d/net is nearly identical to yours, and my /etc/Wireless/... file is, as far as I can tell, correctly set up. My system info: uname -a: Linux tikko 2.6.27-gentoo-r1 #3 SMP Tue Oct 28 20:13:09 CET 2008 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux lspci | grep -i ralink: 01:0a.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI eselect kernel list | grep '*': [5] linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r1 * Part of my kernel config involved with wireless stuff: # # Wireless # CONFIG_CFG80211=y CONFIG_NL80211=y CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y CONFIG_MAC80211=y wpa_supplicant is *not* installed. I'll try booting to linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r2 later and see how the thing behaves there
I think I found my problem, after removing ndiswrapper it works in 2.6.26 and in 2.6.27 now as well. Thanks for the help
Cheers Brett, latest revision works here now, no need to mask it. Much appreciated. I know know that the ralink driver will survive a few more kernel bumps before I have to start thinking about switching to the in-kernel driver, and re-configuring everything (it's sooo easy to set up wireless with this driver).
No problems Jonathan and Ceesjan, thank you both for your help, I do like the turbo function on: RT61: Vendor = 0x1814, Product = 0x0301 cards in ad-hoc mode and it is the main reason I use the ralink rt61 driver.
I'm stuck with a most peculiar problem now, as soon as I bring ra0 up all traffic on my two wired cards grind to a halt. On the machine with the wireless card I get this: quinox@tikko ~ $ ping -B -r -I ethnet 72.14.207.99 PING 72.14.207.99 (72.14.207.99) from 129.125.101.92 ethnet: 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=98.0 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=243 time=100 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=243 time=98.0 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=4 ttl=243 time=98.0 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=5 ttl=243 time=5274 ms <-- ra0 up 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=6 ttl=243 time=4275 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=11 ttl=243 time=8273 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=12 ttl=243 time=7273 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=20 ttl=243 time=1466 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=21 ttl=243 time=98.0 ms <-- ra0 down 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=22 ttl=243 time=98.0 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=23 ttl=243 time=100 ms 64 bytes from 72.14.207.99: icmp_seq=24 ttl=243 time=100 ms The -r -I tells ping to not use the rounting table and send the ping out directly, so that can't be the problem. Only new connections are affected, my IRC/SSH connections keep on working just fine. I get it no matter how I set the ralink interface up. The ra0 does share the IRQ with my LAN card, but not with my internet card (ethnet) so that shouldn't be a problem. Again dmesg doesn't show any problems. I do boot with irqpoll option since otherwise I cannot boot at all. I'm puzzled by this problem, do any of you have pointers for me to check out?
Sorry for littering this bug report, the inkernel module works without the peculiarities that the ralink-rt61 module shows. I'll play around with it a bit more and I'll file a bug report upstream if I can figure out what's going on
For now. net-wireless/ralink-rt61 is not needed and should now remove from portage. In kernel module works fine and stable.

Unfortunately it took the in kernel module untill 2.6.26 to get adhoc drivers working and Turbo and Mimo do not work as far as I know.

I've got my wireless box set up nicely and easily with the ralink-rt61 driver, and quite frankly, I cannot be ar*ed transitioning to the in-kernel driver.

But it should soon be remove in the future. it is duplicate, In kernel legacy rt61 and ralink's drivers are almost the same and We should support the serialmonkey team on buiit-in kernel drivers (rt61 and rt2x00) instead. We can just put this in sunrise overlay for user's who really wanted it.

I've not tried the kernel driver so I cannot comment on it, but if it lacks wpa2psk support, then the ralink-rt61 ebuild driver is required for me here, and shouldn't be dumped into an overlay. Once the kernel driver supports all the required features, maybe it will be time to move to that, but until then, this ebuild is necessary and thanks to Brett for keeping it alive.

When trying to bring up the interface using the in-kernel driver, I get: -bash-3.2# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start * Starting wlan0 SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory * Configuring wireless network for wlan0 * Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 [ !! ] accompanied by this kernel message: firmware: requesting rt2561s.bin phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. Why this particular device requires separate firmware files I don't know, but you can't call a driver "working" or "stable" when it behaves like this.

net-wireless/rt61-firmware is now in the tree. Please emerge that and use the in-kernel driver. If there are no regressions over the broken "ralink-rt61", it should be removed.
removed from tree, wontfix

(albeit a very upstream version) http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5577&p=33524&hilit=rt61pci#p33524 This ebuild wouldn't compile on a kernel above 2.6.28 anyway.
