I'm using Ralink's rt61 drivers for these, some late CVS version, which runs fine with SMP kernel. Early versions had a nasty tendency to just freeze the machine.
I see OpenSUSE 10.3 only ships rt2x00, but I've experienced that driver with mixed results. Now I'd rather use the rt61 driver.
Q1: what's the *orthodox* way to get that module on my system? What kernel are you running? Assuming the default updated kernel, add http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/openSUSE_10.3_u... to your software repositories, and then install the correct rt61-cvs

Is there a repo somewhere which contains rt61 RPMS? Yes, for different flavor kernels, under http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/schmolle1980/ Is there such a thing as DKMS for OpenSUSE? ? As last resort, I could always build from source, make an RPMS with Checkinstall and install that, but I would have to redo this on every kernel update.
Not if you add the repository above. This package will be rebuilt to match the latest update kernel
Q2: how often do kernel updates happen here ( = on 10.3), approximately?
Not too often, but it is painless if you set it up properly. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
