(can you please stop top-posting, it makes reading of threads difficult in= =20 this mailing list). Your device may still be supported by the driver. The problem may exist wi= th=20 the wpa_supplicant. You could try commenting out the wpa_supplicant in=20 your /etc/conf.d/net file and using net-wireless/wireless-tools instead. =20 Then try again to see if it a)finds the access point (try iwlist wlan0=20 scanning), b)associates with it (try iwlist wlan0 accesspoint) . Of course= =20 you will need to remove WPA from the AP. Should all this succeed you can=20 work your way up from there. PS. I haven't managed to make wpa_supplicant work with my device rt2570usb= =20 for more than a year now, but haven't tried recently. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2566705.1CCI5EJIrk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHaipq5Fp0QerLYPcRAg6uAJ4/TqVNzIu6g0EfdrAlJjSCVSz2KgCeLm0R /m4jO5+rCTIjmpMmibJG7/Y= =fKgy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2566705.1CCI5EJIrk-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
