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. <snip> 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. HTH.

Thanks for someone finally answering. I got it to work by changing rt61pci.ko to rt61pci.ko.old in /lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/updates. I had already set the card up under Yast2. I am not sure why rt61pci fails but rt61 (CVS) version works. Again, thanks. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That will only work til the first kernel upgrade, though you would probably need to rebuild the rt61 module anyways, so it may not be that big a deal. But that is the purpose of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, for problem modules. Glad it is working for you. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
