Hi! I am glad to announce the release of ural-linux 0.8, a driver for wireless LAN devices based on the RT2500 USB chipset [1] from Ralink Technologies. http://etudiants.insia.org/~jbobbio/ural-linux/ This driver is a port of Damien Bergamini's *BSD driver [2]. It depends on a device-independent implementation of the 802.11 protocols that originated in the BSD community and was ported to Linux for the MADWIFI driver [3]. My primary motivation for this port was being able to use wireless connections on my PowerBook 12" with an Asus WL-167g under Debian. The driver is currently stable enough for daily use on unencrypted channels. As this is my first real work inside the Linux kernel, there sure is room for improvements, and I'll gladly welcome patches and comments. Please note that monitor mode is currently broken, and that fiddling with iwconfig sometime leads to freezes or kernel panics. Cheers, Jérémy.
