1.8b Development

My Ralink USB works perfectly with pfsense as AP, but refuse to work with monowall 
There are many inexpensive Ralink USB sticks (espesially in chinese internet shops). The one I have is very cheap and very long range. It would be good to add driver into the kernel.
Any chance?

The best bet would be to first get the driver included in FreeBSD, which m0n0wall is based on. Once it is there, it can be added to m0n0wall much easier.

Which version of m0n0wall are you trying with?

1.8.0b510 built on Thu May 3

1.8.0b510 is built on FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p6, which is the version those release notes refers to.

What I don't know is if every FreeBSD supported driver is routinely compiled into the m0n0wall kernel or if some are omitted.

Do you see anything relevant when you run dmesg from the /exec.php page?

Hey guys,

I had a look at "build/kernelconfigs/M0N0WALL_GENERIC.i386" and the run-driver does not seem to be included in there.
Even if run would be available right now m0n0wall wouldn't make it available to select the device as "run" isn't known as a wireless device to m0n0wall.

This is the regex pattern which m0n0wall uses to determine whether a device is a wireless device:

Code:

"wireless_regex" => "/^(wi|an|ath|ral|rum|ural|zyd)/",
"wireless_hostap_regex" => "/^(wi|ath|ral|rum|ural)/"

Regards

I've built r510 with run (and runfw) included into the kernel.

Including runfw was a bit of a pain and I don't know if hostap mode works with this device.

Give it a try and let us know: www.lgrahl.de/download

Edit (Off topic): Oh and by the way - is there any specific reason why wlan_amrr hasn't been included into m0n0wall?

Just one moment need to be fixed -

runfw: root not mounted yet, no way to load image
run0: failed loadfirmware of file runfw
run0: could not load 8051 microcode

after unplug/plug USB stick

run0: firmware RT2870 loaded

please do as sugested here
place the
     following lines in loader.conf:

      if_run_load="YES"
      runfw_load="YES"

Please add the following line to your config.xml, reboot and try again:

Code:

<earlyshellcmd>kldload runfw</earlyshellcmd>

If this driver makes it into the current beta you won't need to do this but for now it should do the job.

I have put it like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<m0n0wall>
   <version>2.0</version>
   <system>
      <earlyshellcmd>kldload runfw</earlyshellcmd>
...

unfortunatelly, does not help!

I've built another image: www.lgrahl.de/download

You may delete the earlyshellcmd line. It should work now.

It worked!
Thanks.
Hope, it will be included in future releases.

Great. Could you try HostAP mode in your wireless configuration?

I don't want to commit my changes to the repository yet as I'm not sure if it is the proper/best way to implement it.

@To the other commiters - please, have a look (compare it to b510): www.lgrahl.de/download/generic-pc-1.8.0b510_run_included_src.7z

It's in HostAP!
