rt2x00-source
Hello,
it is probably too late to get an update of rt2x00-source into etch. The etch
works very unreliable with my D-link DWL-G122 B1 usb WLAN stick, whereas the
sid version (compiled against the etch kernel) works very well. If it cannot
go into etch it is at least documented...

Description: RT2x00 wireless network drivers source
This package provides the source code of the Linux drivers for wireless
network cards using the Ralink RT2x00 chips. It is a complete rewrite
of the RT2400/RT2500/RT2570 drivers, it uses the standard iw*
configuration tools, and it aims to be integrated in the kernel tree.
.
In order to compile the kernel modules you need the kernel sources (or
the kernel-headers for the kernel-image packages from Debian). For
compile instructions look into /usr/share/doc/rt2x00-source/README.Debian
or simply use the module-assistant utility.
.
WARNING: This driver is still experimental, it only works for a few
cards. You will need a 2.6.17 or later kernel to use it.
