Rt2x00 project for wireless nearing success

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:00:00 GMT
If you use wireless networking in GNU/Linux with native drivers, then chances are that you benefit from work done by the Rt2x00 project. You may use the MadWifi Atheros drivers with OpenHal, or drivers for the Realtek RTL8180 chipset, but most likely you use one of the drivers developed by the Rt2x00 for Ralink chipsets. In the nearly four years since the project began, its work has moved from having a reputation for bugginess to the point where some of its drivers are now part of the latest Linux kernels. Recently, Linux.com talked to three of the lead developers on the project about where Rt2x00 has been and where it is going.

SYNOPSIS

       In /etc/network/interfaces:

       mapping <interface> script essidscan

DESCRIPTION

       The essidscan utility is used to tell the ifup and ifdown utilities about the current SSID of the WLAN currently being accessed.  It can be
       used to map the SSID name to an iface stanza.

CONFIGURATION

       A sample /etc/network/interfaces may look like this:

	  mapping hotplug
	    script /etc/network/essidscan
	    map SSIDONE  wlan-work
	    map SSIDTWO  wlan-work
	    map HOME

	  iface wlan-work inet dhcp
	    wireless-key     1234-5678-9ABC-DEF0-1234-5678-9A
	    wireless-keymode restricted

	  iface HOME inet static
	    address	     192.168.2.4
	    netmask	     255.255.255.0
	    gateway	     192.168.2.1
	    wireless-essid   HOME
	    wireless-key     s:somepassword
	    wireless-keymode open

	  iface DEFAULT inet dhcp

FILES

       /etc/network/interfaces
	      the interfaces definition file

       /etc/network/run/ifstate
