The rt2800pci driver has recently been merged into wireless-testing git tree, that driver isn't working perfectly yet, but that is the driver where all development effort should go into. You can find the rt2800pci driver in the drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00 folder. > is my goal to get the rt2860 working on moblin a gesture in futility? Absolutely not. :) > does it make sense to bail and go on to FC? i use FC for my desktop and work so i prefer it over ubuntu ,... This is not a distribution problem, but simply a lack of a good driver in the kernel itself. Ivo
