I have compiled the ralink driver to have the values HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y according to their README_STA file. wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -ira0 -Dwext -f /var/log/...etc is unable to associate. In fact it is unable to associate no matter what combinations I compile the driver as far as the 2 definitions above are concerned. I sent email to <a href="mailto:FAE@ralinktech.com.tw">FAE@ralinktech.com</a> and still no reply. I will not hold my breath for these guys to respond. So, I guess, I will have to look around for a mini-pci card that supports 801.11 N Draft 2, AND is supported by a released fedora driver. If anyone can make a suggestion which mini-pci card will meet this requirement, I would be greatful.
