RT61 Wireless Lan Linux Driver
=======================================================================
Driver lName:
===========
rt61.o/rt61.ko
=======================================================================
Supporting Kernel:
===================
linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 series.
Tested in Redhat 7.3 or later.
=======================================================================
Description:
=============
This is a linux device driver for Ralink RT61 a/b/g WLAN Card.
=======================================================================
Contents:
=============
Makefile.4 : Makefile for kernel 2.4 series
Makefile.6 : Makefile for kernel 2.6 series
Makefile.RTL865x : Makefile for big endian platform
*.c : c files
*.h : header files
=======================================================================
Features:
==========
This driver implements basic IEEE802.11. Infrastructure and adhoc mode with
open or shared or WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication method.
NONE, WEP, TKIP and AES encryption.
=======================================================================
Build Instructions:
====================
1> $tar -xvzf RT61_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x.tar.gz

=======================================================================
CONFIGURATION:
====================
RT61 driver can be configured via following interfaces,
i.e. (i)"iwconfig" command, (ii)"iwpriv" command, (iii) configuration file,
(iv)RaConfig61
i) iwconfig comes with kernel.
ii) iwpriv usage, please refer to file "iwpriv_usage.txt" for details.
iii)copy configuration file "rt61sta.dat" to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat.
iv) RaConfig61 is utility for rt61.
Configuration File : rt61sta.dat
---------------------------------------
# Copy this file to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat
# This file is a binary file and will be read on loading rt.o module.
#
# Use "vi -b rt61sta.dat" to modify settings according to your need.
#
# 1.) set NetworkType to "Adhoc" for using Adhoc-mode, otherwise using Infrastructure
# 2.) set Channel to "0" for auto-select on Infrastructure mode
# 3.) set SSID for connecting to your Accss-point.
# 4.) AuthMode can be "WEPAUTO", "OPEN", "SHARED", "WPAPSK", "WPA2PSK", "WPANONE"
# 5.) EncrypType can be "NONE", "WEP", "TKIP", "AES"
# for more information refer to the Readme file.
#
# The word of "[Default]" must not be removed

*NOTE:
WMM parameters:
1.) WmmCapable
Set it as 1 to turn on WMM Qos support
2.) APSDCapable
Set it as 1 to use automatic power-save delivery(APSD) on an Non-AP QSTA
3.) APSDAC
Set ACs corresponding BE, BK, VI and VO as delivery-enabled or delivery-disabled
All WMM parameters do not support iwpriv command but WmmCapable,
please store all parameter to rt61sta.dat, and restart driver.
NetworkManager and WPS:
If Native WPA Supplicant (NetworkManager) is enabled, WPS CAN NOT be triggered.
For this case, we have to set NativeWpa=1 in rt61sta.dat.
Otherwise, if we want to use WPS, we have to disable NetworkManager by setting
NativeWpa=0 in rt61sta.dat.

MORE INFORMATION
=================================================================================
If you want for rt61 driver to auto-load at boot time:
A) choose ra0 for first RT61 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT61 WLAN card, etc.
B) go to "./RT61_Linux_STA_Drv_x.x.x.x/Module" directory.
$make install
NOTE:
if you use dhcp,
add this line
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
in the file ifcfg-ra0 .
*C) To ease the Default Gateway setting,
add the line
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
in /etc/sysconfig/network
D) When build for SUSE, please unmark the part for SUSE in Makefile.
When build for Mandriva 2007.1, please unmark the part for Mandriva in Makefile.
Thank's MickeySa ... Now it's working !!! :respect-046:
