>Description:
Hi.
1.) My "Edimax EW-7108PCG PCMCIA Card" is not working.
2.) I don't know, how to set AUTHMODE to using SHARED key.

>dmesg | grep ral0
ral0 at cardbus1 function 0: irq 11
ral0: 802.11 address 00:0e:2e:cb:09:e3
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527

ral0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

ral0: could not open microcode ral-rt2561s

ral0: could not open microcode ral-rt2561s
ral0: cannot assign link-local address
ral0: could not open microcode ral-rt2561s
ral0: could not open microcode ral-rt2561s

I tried to copy RT2561.bin, RT2561S.bin, RT2661.bin files from original driver CD to /etc/firmware and rename it to ral-rt2561, ral-rt2561s, ral-rt2661, but it is still writing the same error.

PLEASE HELP. It is my second unusable card in NetBSD. 

Jaromir Capik.
