Re: Anyone tried the ASUS A8V-E Deluxe?

No, dont use rt2400 driver, it's for 11mbit version of chipset only. Use
rt2500, you can get it from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

You need configured kernel source. Then just copy makefile from driver
source in under Module 2.6.x to Module and it works.
You need to compile it with gcc-3.4 in order to work, and with current
sources (1.0.0) you need to change rtmp.h a bit, lines 1086 and 1089 -
remove words "inline".
It then compiles, and works with amd64, but it's not the most stable
driver. With this driver you can only use managed or ad-hoc mode.

p.s.:
Is it meant this way or why this list does not have reply-to set to list?
