[Bug 210725] Re: Please include RaLink RT2860 driver

[krutoileshii]

The 1.8 driver does not support kernels above 2.8 there is a new driver 2.1
i think that was released by ralink.
However i had little success with getting stephane's drive to work out of
the box in the first place.
Try the ralink driver form their website and see if it will compile for you.
