How do I configure it? I use 2.6.x series kernel and a rt2500 wireless card. I tried almost anything :D. Drivers compile and they are loaded perfectly...

I'm not sure I understand. Your drivers are loaded and the card is 'working'? Then all you have to do is bring up the interface:

Code:
iwconfig

lists the avaliable wireless adapters

Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourSSID"
iwconfig wlan0 key "yourkey"
dhcpcd wlan0
ifconfig (to verify it's there)


You will need to emerge wireless-tools if you haven't already.
