Red Hat Linux wireless network card and installation of little penguin five Pen Input Method

I have been using a Red Hat Linux server for several years. In addition to the web and ftp services, I have not installed any more. Recently, I have installed a man-machine on LinuxAS (2.6.9-5.EL) to prepare some pilot projects. In order to save a long network cable connection, first test the wireless network card. After N detours, I finally succeeded. I wrote a few lines of words for forgetting.

I have been using a Red Hat Linux server for several years. In addition to the web and ftp services, there is no installation above.

Recently, Linux AS (2.6.9-5.EL) has been installed on a single machine to prepare for testing projects. In order to save a long network cable connection, first test the wireless network card. After N detours, I finally succeeded. I wrote a few lines of words for forgetting. First find information on the Internet, find the model is TP-LINK 32G is RT73 chip, to http://www.ralinktech.com/web site mouse pointing to the rightmost

The SUPPORT side has a drop-down menu. Click Linux and download the line with RT73 In the table, that is, the NIC driver to be installed in Linux.

I downloaded the rt73_linux_sta_drv1.0.4.0.tar.gz package, decompress the package with the tar command, and proceed to the following

Some steps:

1. Unpack the driver package to a directory and enter the Module Directory of the directory.

2. Run cp Makefile.6./Makefile.

3. Execute make all.

4. Run mkdir/etc/Wireless.

5. Run mkdir/etc/Wireless/RT73STA.

6. Run cp rt73.bin/etc/Wireless/RT73STA /.

7. Run dos2unix rt73sta. dat.

8. Run cp rt73sta. dat/etc/Wireless/RT73STA /.

9. Run cp rt73.ko/lib/modules/2.6.15.3/kernel/drivers/usb/net /.

10. Run depmod.

11. Run modprobe rt73.

12. Add the following line to the/etc/modprobe. conf file.

Alias rausb0 rt73

In this case, the driver is installed. Next, configure:

Vi/etc/Wireless/RT73STA/rt73sta. dat file configuration is critical

In addition to the correct configuration of this file, open the network configuration on your graphic interface: Application/system settings/network configuration/network, delete the original wireless device, and then add it. Select the wireless network card rausb0, edit/Wireless Settings: Mode: Managed (transmission mode between the network card and the router, the other two are automatic and network card mode) specify the SSID (enter the SSID on the AP to be connected) and remove the hook before "connect to the MAC address". Otherwise, the MAC address will be prompted during each restart. In addition, you can select the option before "Activate the device when computing is to be started" and enable the wireless Nic automatically every time you start the system.
