There is a good chance the rt2x00 driver will get into the kernel tree in time, since there is no firmware to upload - Ralink Tech (www.ralink.com.tw) took a design decision to incorporate the firmware into an EEPROM on-board, allowing their driver to be GPL'd, and the rt2x00 is a Linux-specific rewrite which is stabilising well. ___ Daniel J Blueman
