[Bug 36898] Re: [dapper] can not connect to a wireless network with rt2500

[aurelien naldi]

Ok it was a problem with my setup: 

Strangly I managed to get a DHCP lease but I can't do anything withe this connection, not even ping myself and the connection info shows tons of errors:

$ ifconfig ra0
ra0       Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:09:F7:C2:0C

$ ping 139.124.1.101
PING 139.124.1.101 (139.124.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data.

nor dmesg nor syslog contains anything more regarding ra0 or the driver.


the problem was a running firestarter, the connection was obviously working fine, sorry for the noise, marking the bug as "rejected" as it was not a bug and I don't see a better status.
