Hi, I had no problems doing the same with my rt61 RALink. Did you follow this sequence? 1. modprobe -r rt61pci 2. cd /usr/src/linux 3. make mrproper 3. make cloneconfig 4. make modules_prepare 5. cd /rt61-cvs/Module directory 6. make 7. make install 8. modprobe rt61 9. rcnetwork restart? This worked perfectly for me -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Niki Kovacs <contact@kikinovak.net>

Hi,

One of my PCs at home has a Ralink RT2561 PCI wireless card. I configured it following several suggestions on this list, and now the card works like a charm. What I did was remove the rt2x00 driver that's shipped with the install CD, and instead used the rt61-cvs drivers on the schmolle1980 repos. In the past, I've always used that driver on other distros (Slackware and Arch), and it worked very well.

This afternoon I wanted to install openSUSE 10.3 on my main machine at work, which has the same RT2561 wireless card. I followed the same steps as on my home PC: remove the rt2x00 driver, configure the schmolle1980 repos, install rt61-cvs, reboot (to be sure old modules are unloaded and new modules are loaded).

After rebooting, I wanted to configure the card with YaST, but curiously enough, it didn't appear. So I opened a Terminal to see what was going on.

# lsmod | grep rt61

--> shows the module is loaded OK.

# ifconfig -a

--> shows only 'lo' and 'eth0'. No 'wlan0'

# lspci

--> shows the card OK (which means it's plugged in correctly)

# uname -r

--> shows I'm using the default kernel, just to check if the rt61-cvs is the right one, e. g. the one for the default (and not bigsmp or xen) kernel. A quick check in /lib/modules/`uname -r` shows the rt61.ko module OK.

Still, 'ifconfig -a' doesn't show any wlan0 interface.

Which leaves me clueless. Any suggestions?
