This is very strange. The rt2500 driver should support scanning with iwlist. In fact, I just downloaded the source code now to check the README. I have attached it to this post for reference.prit1 wrote:I get the message "interface doesnt support scanning".Dougal wrote:It seems like it doesn't find anything with the wireless scan...
When you run "iwlist ra0 scan", does it detect anything?
I suspect that the error message may occur because the wifi interface (ra0) has not created successfully, or the ra0 interface is not up.
Can iwconfig commands run successfully? Try this -
Code: Select all
iwconfig ra0 mode managed
I really don't know how "Auto" works. Anyway in 99% of cases your wifi mode should be "managed" so maybe the answer is simply to change "Auto" to "managed" in /etc/wireless/profiles/autoconnect.confDougal wrote:I tried using the "autoconnect" profile and got an error from iwconfig, that the interface (wlan0, the Ralink in the Classmate with rt73usb) does not support the "Auto" mode...
