Binary package hint: rt2500

Hi,

I cannot connect to my wifi network with edgy.

network-manager-gnome think my card is an ethernet card (I see wlan0 and
wmaster0 with ifconfig) and is unable to connect my network.

network-admin is not able to scan networks and don't connect to my
network if I specify the SSID.

With "iwlist wlan0 scanning" I can scan networks, but I'm unable to
connect (maybe I just don't know how to connect with iwconfig...)

The module rt2500 doesn't seem to be loader by the kernel :

tv at pvrsalon:~$ lsmod | grep rt2500
tv at pvrsalon:~$ 

Here the output of lspci:
