I've got an Edimax EW-7128g PCI card, and according to http://ralink.rapla.net/ and some other websites, this card uses the rt2500 chipset (that's why I went for the rt2500 package in the first place). However, it appears that wireless manufacturers are known to change the chipset without telling anyone, so I went ahead and gave rt61 a try. > That looks like you will need the "rt61" module for this card.

When I try to modprobe rt61, I get a 'Invalid module format' message (or similiar to that). You think that is related to the kernel version, or is there another thing I'm missing? > -- > Regards, > Florian Thanks a lot, Avishai. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
