the AUR Package is no longer aviable... building with make make install fails on actual Arch system..

[edit] rt61pci - works

I can confirm it works with kernel 2.6.25 (now in testing) with firmware files (rt2561.bin, rt2561s.bin, rt2661.bin) in /lib/firmware

The firmware can be found on the Installation CD, maybe only one is needed, but I didn't bother to try, just copied them all.

The card was automatically recognized, but it did't work until: 1) I copied the necessary firmware files to /lib/firmware 2) "modprobe -r rt61pci" to unload the driver 3) modprobe rt61pci to load it

a "iwlist wlan0 scan" worked after these steps.

Next I used ntcfg2 and I configured it with WEP encryption and dhcp.

I'm using a Core2 Quad, so SMP works too.

[edit] rt73 works

Use instructions for rt61 above (actual adapter D-link DWA-110)
