Yep.  I did manage to get it working with wpa_supplicant (or so I 
thought . . . )

# lsmod | grep rt2
rt2500usb              21728  0 
rt2x00usb               8576  1 rt2500usb
rt2x00lib              14944  2 rt2500usb,rt2x00usb

Am I on a hiding to nothing?  I thought that if it made it into the kernel it 
would be alright to use.  When I was downloading the rt2x00 from cvs it was a 
bit of a hit and miss affair.

Nah, not important.  I'm in the middle of nowhere to be honest visiting a 
friend.  Also, WEP encryption is rather trivial to crack, especially so with 
a 40bit key.  :p
