Rt2860/2870 wireless support

First you have to rename the module to not use those numbers in the name :).
-
+1 to what ermal said. They need to choose a better name for that driver, one that adheres to proper conventions for device naming, which doesn't include using numbers in the device name.
-
Ive not yet built it! Only got as far as writing the BSD 8.1 image to a USB pen drive. Work tommorow :) Thanks though will rename it if I get that far.
-
Just to elaborate: the rename involves a source code change in the driver rather than a file rename.
It may also be of interest that the FreeBSD run driver MIGHT support your device. It supports a number of the newer Ralink USB devices. See http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,27744.0.html for a little more information.
-
There isn't a build with the new kernels yet, so keep an eye out for the next new snapshot and give that a try to see if run(4) will work for you.
-
Ah changing the source code is out of my depth. I guess I will wait and hope its included.
-
any news on this one ?
2860 drivers are avaliable here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/ralink_drivers.git
-
Just curious if there are any updates?!

If it doesn't work with the run/rum drivers, it isn't likely to be in 2.0.

Thanks jimp and here's to hoping it will!
