The card uses the drivers from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and it works very well. No need for firmware either and its been compiling clean on this kernel. I could not get the latest rt2x00 drivers to work for some reason so I'm using the rt2500 driver from there.
BTW, the cards cost about 30.00 each from newegg. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
