WLAN problem [SOLVED]

[Guest]

Hello all,
Will try briefly describe the problem which I am having with my kubuntu 9,04.

After fresh installation my wifi card is discovered as well as my network Binet1.

lspci

00:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI



so I try to connect to my network through GUI







After that, it is connecting for a while, but no joy eventually.

So I try a console

wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"BinetInfo"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thrff Fragment thr=2352 B
Power Managementff
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0


As you can see network is NG, sometimes it shows essid binet1, but access point is never associated.



So I change following file into

more /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan1 inet static
address 192.168.1.204
network 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
wireless-essid Binet1
wireless-mode Managed
wireless-key 12axxxxxxxxxxxxxx


But after that in GUI, there is no network available,
to see wlan1, I had to put it down and up again

iwconfig wlan1
wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated

Years back on a different card, I was able to connect on mandriva. I remember I had to change mode to managed, and key was I think reserved or sth like that.


I am really not far from giving up, could somebody pls help me out with this issue.
