The in-kernel driver is under development Okay, the RT2870 driver from Ralink works with this device, but it seems to be a bit quirky: * The device has to be brought up and down a few times before NetworkManager sees it. I'm not sure what NetworkManager is cueing off of. * I was unable to get the thing to associate and come up using iwconfig/ifconfig. Might have been my range on that AP, though, since I was shooting for an unencrypted network that is a not the closest network in my building. * Usual odd bits with vendor drivers like odd build system subtleties and seemingly unnecessary configuration files (does anyone really care to fiddle with those, or doesn't everyone just want things to work with the standard configuration mechanisms like I do?). Is there an effort to move this driver in-tree? The license is GPL. Thanks, Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org
