This file is the documentation for the Raylink Wireless LAN card driver for
Linux. The Raylink wireless LAN card is a PCMCIA card which provides IEEE
As of kernel 2.3.18, the ray_cs driver is part of the Linux kernel
source. My web page for the development of ray_cs is at
-http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
+http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html
and I can be emailed at corey@world.std.com
The kernel driver is based on ray_cs-1.62.tgz
will find them all.
Information on card services is available at:
+
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/
Currently, ray_cs is not part of David Hinds card services package,
so the following magic is required.
-At the end of the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, add the line:
-source ./ray_cs.opts
+At the end of the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file, add the line:
+source ./ray_cs.opts
This will make card services read the ray_cs.opts file
when starting. Create the file /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts containing the
-following:
+following::
-#### start of /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts ###################

To join an existing network with
-different parameters, contact the network administrator for the
+different parameters, contact the network administrator for the
configuration information, and edit /etc/pcmcia/ray_cs.opts.
Add the parameters below between the empty quotes.
Parameters for ray_cs driver which may be specified in ray_cs.opts:
-bc integer 0 = normal mode (802.11 timing)
- 1 = slow down inter frame timing to allow
- operation with older breezecom access
- points.
-
-beacon_period integer beacon period in Kilo-microseconds
- legal values = must be integer multiple
- of hop dwell
- default = 256
-
-country integer 1 = USA (default)
- 2 = Europe
- 3 = Japan
- 4 = Korea
- 5 = Spain
- 6 = France
- 7 = Israel
- 8 = Australia
