Hi Mika & friends!

I've asked a few days ago for rt61-wlan-driver-support in grml. Now I've 
tried the package provided - and the module seems to work! I'm afraid, 
still I couldn't manage to get my wlan to work. I have to use WPA-PSK.

This is, what I've done:
- wget your deb
- dpkg -i the deb
- modprobe rt61pci
- rename the /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT in wlancfg-myssid (with my ssid)
- setting dot11ExcludeUnencrypted to false in the wlan-cfg-myssid 
because of not using wep
- setting SSID_wlan0="myssid" in /etc/wlan/wlan.conf
- typing
  ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
  ctrl_interface_group=0
  eapol_version=1
  ap_scan=1
  fast_reauth=1
  network={
  ssid="myssid"
  scan_ssid=1
  proto=WPA
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  pairwise=TKIP
  group=TKIP
  psk="mypassword"} (with my phrase)
 in my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
- adding
  auto wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet dhcp (dhcp is running in my network)
  wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  to my /etc/network/interfaces.
Now, iwconfig wlan0 shows my essid and an encryption-key, but I'm not 
able to ping. Strange is, that after typing
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d, the iwconfig wlan0 command 
shows Encryption key:off. Perhaps, here tht problem is to find...?

Do you, Mika, or someone else have an idea, why it still doesn't work?
Thanks for all the help you gave and give!
Andi
