| − | ==Installation==
| |
| − | The RT61 Driver is included in the official kernel-tree so you must only load the rt61 module by using:
| |
| − | # modprobe rt61pci
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to load the module at startup you can add it to MODULES=() in rc.conf like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | MODULES=(... fuse '''rt61pci''' snd-via82xx ...)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some RT61 devices need to load the firmware (you can check it by using the dmesg command) so you must install the rt2x00-rt61-fw package by using:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # pacman -S rt2x00-rt61-fw

| − | ===No encryption and WEP encryption===
| |
| − | Edit rc.conf to met your config:
| |
| − | wlan_wlan0='wlan0 essid <youressid>' #no encryption
| |
| − | wlan_wlan0='wlan0 essid <youressid> key open s:<yourWEPkey>' #WEP encryption
| |
| − | wlan0=('dhcp')
| |
| − | INTERFACES=(wlan0 lo) #among other interfaces
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===WPA/PSK or WPA2/PSK===
| |
| − | The README file tells you how to configure the interface using iwconfig and iwlist commands. To set up the system to configure the interface at startup you can use the [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10514&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=rt61&SB=n&SO=a&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd| rt61-cvs AUR package] scripts from klixon. Simply download 'rt61wpa' to '/etc/rc.d/rt61wpa' and 'rt61-wpa.conf.d' to '/etc/conf.d/rt61-wpa', configure the 'rt61-wpa' file and place 'rt61wpa' in your rc.conf DAEMONS array before 'network'. You also have to put

| |
| − | This is currently not supported by legacy drivers [http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4203 Serialmonkey Forum]. Solution is to compile new kernel with some patches and using patched hostapd for beacons. [http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4582 Serialmonkey Again]
