ralink wifi card
i'm having trouble getting my rt61 based card working under debian etch.
lspci shows i've got the right card:
00:0f.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
the steps i've taken so far are
1.grab the driver from ralink's website, and untar it.
2.cd to the 'Module' directory and copy Makefile.6 to Makefile
3.install the kernel headers, make, gcc, tofrodos, wireless-tools
4.make the module
5.copy all of the binary firmware files and configuration file 'rt61sta.dat'
to '/etc/Wireless/RT61STA'
6.convert the 'rt61sta.dat' file to unix format
7.copy 'rt61.ko' to '/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless'
8.run 'depmod'
9.run 'modprobe rt61' (no errors)
the driver says it finds a card, and the ra0 interface shows up,
but 'iwconfig' says that it has no wireless extensions.
running 'ifconfig -a' says that this card has no mac address as well.
is the firmware for this card not getting loaded?
