[opensuse] Rt61 module issues under 10.3
Hello, I had challenges with my RT61 based PCI card working with 10.3 out of the box. The card was seen but despite any setup, my wireless didn't work. So I found a site where it showed how to remove the rt61pci module that ships with 10.3 and install the CVS version from the Ralink Website. With a simple issue of rcnetwork restart, it worked instantly. However when I rebooted, all was lost. I found that rt61pci was still being loaded, despite modprobe -r rt1pci and modprobe rt61. I put alias wlan0 rt61 in /etc/modprobe.conf.local but it still did the same. So now, if I have to reboot (Dual Boot machine), I have to do this sequence to get the wireless back: 1. modprobe -r rt61 2. modprobe -r rt61pci 3. modprobe rt61 If I do this it works. Where is and can I remove the rt61pci module or disable it so only the rt61 gets loaded.

Disable the rt61pci module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. You should setup the wireless via Yast2, Network Devices, Network Card and tell it to use the rt61 module. You could also load it via /etc/sysconfig/kernel MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT.
