Well I was in the IRC today and someone was asking about their Ralink Card, in particular a:
product info: "Ralink Technology, Inc.", "RT2500", "802.11 CardBus Reference Card"
manfid: 0x1814, 0x0201
function: 6 (network)
I grepped /etc/pcmcia and couldn't find much, and I found the mention of "Ralink PCMCIA" on the wiki to be way too vague. After a bit of research I found the rt2x00 project. The latest driver BETA rt2500 driver: v1.1.0-b4 was available so I built the module for them and did the best I could to make a .dsl package for it minus the addition to /etc/modules.conf and the depmod -a .
Looks like its working just fine but hes not near an AP to test it.
dmesg shows:
| Code Sample | | <6>rt2500 1.1.0 BETA4 2006/06/18 http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com |
and iwconfig shows:
| Code Sample | ra0 RT2500 Wireless ESSID:""
