By the way, a look into ifup-wireless tells you lies: rt61pci / rt2500pci is not included in the switch statement for supported cards. No way for WPA-PSK on anyone of the current stable suse distributions. Whether suse likes the iwpriv concept or suse doesn't: it has one huge advantage (at least for Ralink based cards), it works ;-). This is what I would call a user benefit, nothing else. An user will not ask for flamewars of kernel maintainers. This is (and should be IMHO) out of his scope. The degree of acceptance of linux is directly proportional to it's user friendlyness. This statement sounds like going to a car shop and you get a car with only three of four wheels because the salesman inside tells you that he doesn't want to sell four wheel cars because of the screws in use :-))))). So, who's decision? Well, yes, mine, but what caused the decision, that would be the right question to ask ;-). Again: saying that the legacy drivers do not support wpa psk is definitively technically wrong. So, the hwinfo driver would have to treat it right, coming up with a message that it is available but not supported or something alike, that would be the technically correct output. At the end of the day the rt2x drivers hopefully will reach a state where they can be used successfully, this wasn't the case until now. And in turn, ok, keep your bug as is, so I can keep things for people useable (if suse doesn't want to support this as I understood) :-)))). As each new release comes with new problems it is often wise to keep things as they are, known bugs are easier to cope with :-))).
