Hi macaal,

We only support our version of the legacy drivers here. You need to contact Ralink for support for their drivers. Or you could try downloading and building the RT61 driver from our project.

Thanks,

Dear members,

I have got the same card, but I cannot download driver from serialmonkay.com.
Only a 10kb file is available and i could not open it anyhow.

(Edimax 7108PCg, rt2561 chipset)
(I had rt2500 and rt73 cards, and their installation and use was easy)

Is there available driver?

Thank you,
Cappa.

Most distributions have a legacy or rt2x00 driver in their repository.
All distros with kernel 2.6.24 and above have the in-kernel driver installed by default.

Yes, we are aware of the problem. Apparently we can't do checkouts from our CVS repository anymore. Will hopefully be fixed soon.

Thanks for quick reply.
Unfortunately rt2x00 staffs do not work usualy.
Did not work in the case of rt2500(pcmci) nor rt73 (usb).
But drivers from this site worked well.

:(

I will try to look it day by day.
