Landon,
Install gnu-utils.dsl, then you can compile the Ralink driver(s) yourself ... but don't compile the "official" Ralink version, get the independent version from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com
Download the rt2500 source, stable or CVS, but don't download the rt2x00 source - this is for 2.6 kernels only.

The end-product will be a single module, /lib/modules/2.4.31/extra/rt2500.o which has no other dependencies, so you can copy it into /home/dsl and load it like this -
insmod /home/dsl/rt2500.o

There is another forum member currently asking for help with the WMP54G v4, so perhaps you can help each other.

I've mucked around with that, but I couldn't get it to work =\

Hey, what version of DSL will this work on? And I have an unrelated question...What does "broken pipe" mean? When I'm rebooting or shutting down, (i boot from jumpdrive), i see the line where the system is backing up to my drive, but it says something about broken pipe? thanks for ALL the help!

I use DSL, SLAX, and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. Sometimes XP, and hopefully NEVER Vista.

Hijack thread alert!
Broken Pipe is an invalid or more likely dual mounted device.
On a pendrive /cdrom is already mounted, you should not also mount /dev/sda.

Any way, back to original post... What version will this driver for the wmp54g v4 work on? Should we use 1.5 or 2.0 for this?
thanks

Landon and colonel_panic
I forgot to mention that you will need the kernel source as well.
For DSL 0.8.0 - 1.5 (kernel 2.4.26) -
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....rce.dsl

For DSL 2.0 up (kernel 2.4.31) -
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....sources
