Hi,

I have a pcmcia card based on Ralink's 2561 chipset, handled by the
RT61 module. Instead of using Ralink's drivers, use the drivers from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com project. They supply a set of drivers for
Ralink's chipsets -  group of 'legacy' drivers which are actually
modified Ralink's drivers, but they focus on rewriting the drivers from
scratch using Devicescape's 802.11 stack. Legacy drivers from
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com work with no problems (I compiled them
on a 2.6.14 and a 2.6.18.1 kernel), the new driver is in beta stage,
and there are some problems on ppc with the new driver, however the
legacy drivers are good for daily use until the new driver isn't ready.

HTH,

owczi
