Wireless configuration CENTOS
I still consider myself a newbie with linux so please bare with me. I have a wireless card installed( RT3060 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R) i believe correctly because I can use
iwlist ra0 scanning and all of my networks come up. But whenever i try to use the iwconfig command is appears that nothing is actually being changed, even when I try running the sudo command first. [root@server network-scripts]# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. ra0 Ralink STA ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT3562STA" Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Bit Rate=1 Mb/s RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 [root@server network-scripts]# iwconfig ra0 essid HouseWireless [root@server network-scripts]# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. ra0 Ralink STA ESSID:"" Nickname:"RT3562STA" Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz Bit Rate=1 Mb/s RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I have tried putting sudo before the command and putting everything into an ifcfg-ra0 network script. When I put everything into the script I can bring the interface up with ifup error free and there are still no settings entered of iwconfig. Of course ifconfig just has ra0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:EF:27:1C:0B inet6 addr: fe80::21a:efff:fe27:1c0b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:21644 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:16172 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5101081 (4.8 MiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:20 Please I have read maybe 50 forum posts today and am about to give up. Also I have disabled network manager so I can configure manually. I have no GUI installed because I dont want to. My goal is to make an FTP server and I want to minimize my resources. Thank you in advance |

Thank you unSpawn! I was reading through the link you provided and figured out I had to use iwpriv with the commands provided in the driver source code to set all the settings and it works!

Self-reliance is invaluable. Well done fixing things yourself.
