FIX MY FIX or boot windows?

[dylan1055]

ok this has stopped being fun now.

after some grate community support i found the solution to getting my wifi up and running .
As it happens my noobness was due to a bug in Ubuntu, bug 139070.

so some Ninja provided this work around :

Code: Select all

wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
tar zxvf rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
cd rt73*
cd M*
make
sudo make install
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
append this to the end of the file:
# rt73 blacklisted drivers
blacklist rt2500usb
blacklist rt73usb
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist ipv6
now sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and we shall be connected if
/etc/network/interfaces file is configured correctly, here is an example of
mine:
# WORKING STATIC AES/WPA CONFIG
#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet static
#address 192.168.1.66
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#gateway 192.168.1.254
#pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up
#pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE
#pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
#pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set Channel=9
#pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
#pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=AES
#pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=yourwpapasswd
#pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set TxRate=0

# WORKING DYNAMIC AES/WPA CONFIG
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set Channel=10
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=yourwpapasswd
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set TxRate=0
mtu 1500
There we go rt73 working perfectly, now, lets watch and see if the Ubuntu
developers can add this wonderful driver to Gutsy and Heron...

ok kool ???????????????

ARRRRHHH NO

this fix works grate until i reboot and then i cant get it working again and the only solution i have found is to reformat.

help please

ipv6 is blacklisted in Mint by default, so if you added that as in this solution it's done twice. I have no knowledge of what that could do, but it's not right.
That's the only thing I see at a first glance
BTW did
/etc/init.d/networking restart
work?
I have not been able to get it to work in Daryna
This is so strange that I have to study it closer

no, this is driving me mad.

yer i tried /etc/init./networking restart

responds with [ok]

but still not working

i am a total linux noob , is their a way to compare settings before and after reboot ? so i know what changed.

what gets my goat, is it works perfect if i run from live disk.
