Ralink RT2500 54g wireless for inclusion?
I understand Ralink are the only vendor to have a 54g wireless chipset
which does not require the host to upload (non-free) firmware.
Ralink have also released software and interface specs, and released a
driver under the GPL.
The Ralink RT2500 kernel module is included by default with the kernel
released in Ubuntu 5.10.
This appears to be the only 54g chipset Debian could currently support
'out of the box'.
Given that the ralink seem particularly free software friendly, the
chipset is cheap and common, and the driver is widely understood to work
well, are there any good reasons not to include the driver module with
the standard debian kernel?
A list of cards using this chipset is available here:
