DetailsDescription:
The rt2x00 (rt61pci) in kernel26 2.6.25.11-1 is broken for rt61 chipset pci cards. Link quality is alwasy 0 and router cannot be reached. Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26 2.6.25.11-1 * config and/or log files etc. in /etc/rc.conf: MODULES=(slhc uli526x rt61pci snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore !net-pf-10 !pcspkr) wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid kismet key restricted s:<ascii key>" wlan0="wlan0 192.168.1.192 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" INTERFACES=(wlan0) gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1" ROUTES=(gateway) Steps to reproduce: 1. set up a static ip configuration with wep in /etc/rc.conf, such as: MODULES=(slhc uli526x rt61pci snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore !net-pf-10 !pcspkr) wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid kismet key restricted s:<ascii key>" wlan0="wlan0 192.168.1.192 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" INTERFACES=(wlan0) gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1" ROUTES=(gateway) 2. reboot 3. notice output of iwlist, iwconfig anf ifconfig all appear normal, except that iwconfig shows Link Quality=0/100 and we can't ping the router (192.168.1.1 - Network unreachable). 4. install from source rt61-cvs-daily from serialmonkey (CVS version of enhanced legacy driver). 5. choose loaded modules to use rt61 legacy: MODULES=(slhc uli526x rt61 !rt61pci snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore !net-pf-10 !pcspkr) 6. reboot. 7. iwconfig now shows Link Quality=81/100 (i.e. usable connection) and we can ping the router (192.168.1.1). |

I am running a uniprocessor AMD Athlon 64 3500+ with 2GB ram, ext3 /boot, XFS / and XFS /home.
Official Ralink rt61 drivers and serialmonkey enhanced legacy rt61 work, but not the rt2x00 / rt61pci that comes with the Arch kernel does not.
I have tried 2.6.25 series kernels from openSUSE and Fedora and their stock kernel rt2x00 modules do work.
Do you think they patched it with some newer upstream rt2x00 version perhaps?
We won't update the in-kernel wireless, as installing compat-wireless in parallel to the normal kernel is easy and clean.
