Dowen,
How the heck do you get the RT2500 working with ndiswrapper? And why isn't there a box labeled "WPA Key" in the DSLPanel GUI for ndiswrapper? (There's a box for WEP key.)
And how does anyone install the RT2500 driver in DSL? Or in any Linux, for that matter? And how do you compile the driver from source under DSL when there's a forest of unresolved dependencies?
And why does DSL (and Linux) know about the device wlan0 but not ra0 (which is what the Ralink drivers call the RT2500 device)? And why does the name matter?
Any why isn't there a .dsl extension for the RT2500? Why is it so hard to incorporate the driver in DSL (and Linux in general) when the source code is provided by the manufacturer? And why doesn't MyDSL work (still, in 3.0RC2)? And why doesn't MyDSL give the user any feedback about whether it worked or not, or whether anything even actually happened?
And why, when the RT2500 is the most common wireless chipset in the world, and when there's source code available for the driver, and when it is small enough to fit in hardly any space at all, is there no support for the chip set in DSL? Or any Linux?
And why, even though no actual software needs to be written, can we not put the frackin' code in the distros, for heaven's sake???
Inquiring minds want to know.
