Yep, running 2.6.22-14-generic when trying to get the
card to hookup.  Have tried some other gutsy installed
ones based on what driver/module I'm working with. In
fact modules for the above doesn't list a rt61 module
just a rt61pci.  Read somewhere that the rt61 worked
but rt61pci didn't.  Have tried all module references
I could find saying it would work with WMP54G v4.1 and
some see the card(lspci); others don't. Haven't
totally given up yet(because haven't seen enough
replies saying that such & such wifi pci card works
out of the box with ubuntu). If someone said that "I
used this card, model no. etc and it worked out of the
box, I'd go buy it today. The one Colin Brace
recommended is not available in my area, I think, and
I've looked a lot. uname -a say it's the #1 SMP i686
version. Is that the right one? Right now I'm piddling
with the rt61pci module as the rt2400 didn't pick up
the card in dmesg LINK* (no irq assigned). Once I get
the card recognized again and dmesg output that eth0
and wlan0 or ra0 whatever it is, is not active, I'm
going to use knetwork-manager to set up ISP data, ie.,
essid, gateway, all that stuff I have available. If
that's not right thing or you or anyone have
suggestions, let me hear them.  And thanks for keeping
the thread alive.
