I also have a rt2500 card which was recommended to me by the free software foundation because of its free software drivers.  The light lights up on the card (not the transfer lights), but the card doesn't get detected or anything.  My card is the asus 107G, and the manual says supported by Redhat 7.1, which means a 2.4 kernel should support it.  My laptop is the dell inspiron 3500.  The asus card is pcmcia.  Any help will be appreciated as I really need this laptop now since I sold my other computer for parts (it broke).  If someone is willing to help me by phone who really knows what they're talking about I will send money via paypal if you can help me that way if you think its better than the boards.  Thanks.

DSL has a SMP Kernel.

Just google this card and one will see that a native module requires a non-SMP kernel. So, it would appear that you will not only need to compile the module, but also a non-SMP kernel, and then of course all the modules that your system would require.

I am glad to read that someone has the card working with ndiswrapper.
