[Bug 397232] Re: ifenslave broken with wifi

[Kim Tyler]

I have tried a different wireless driver for the rt2500 chipset in my
PC. (lspci -vnn follows:-)

00:0a.0 Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI [1814:0201] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device [1462:6833]
	Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 17
	Memory at d2204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel modules: rt2500pci

I removed the current rt2500 modules and added a previously compiled
rt2500 module from serialmonkey website as follows

rmmod rt2500pci rt2x00pci rt2x00lib
insmod rt2500.ko  # wireless device is ra0

ifconfig ra0 192.168.5.100 up
iwconfig ra0 essid <my-essid>
iwconfig ra0 mode managed
iwconfig ra0 key off
ping 192.168.5.1
PING 192.168.5.1 (192.168.5.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=5.57 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=0.954 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=0.906 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=6 ttl=127 time=0.881 ms

Then tried the same bonding as before:-
ifconfig bond0 192.168.5.100 up
ifenslave bond0 ra0

ping 192.168.5.1
PING 192.168.5.1 (192.168.5.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=6.48 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=0.969 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=0.880 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=127 time=0.885 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=127 time=0.878 ms

# IT WORKS!

It would seem the problem is with the rt2500pci driver somewhere
