 Hello, sorry for the automatic translation.
 On my netbook Asus EEE PC 901 set Haiku Release 1 Alpha 4.1
 I had a problem with the connection Wi-Fi (Ralink RT2860).

 Wireless connection says: "no wireles network found"

 In the console, no networks:

 {{{
  ifconfig / dev/net/ralink2860/0 scan

 ~>
 }}}


 It has been observed that the MAC address of Haiku Release 1 Alpha
 4.1(4.0) incorrectly identifies:

 {{{
  Welcome to the Haiku shell.

 }}}


 I suggested to replace the driver ralink2860 version of Haiku Release 1
 Alpha 3.

 After replacement, AP became seen, but without names:

 When you try to connect to any AP without a name, a window pops up:

 "Could not join wireless network: Invalid Argument"

 Driver version of Haiku Release 1 Alpha 3 MAC address identifies the
 correct:

 {{{

 Hardware type: Ethernet, Address: 00:22:43:00:1 a: 2f
