[ N] net-wireless/rt2400 (no): Driver for the RaLink RT2400 wireless chipset
[ I] net-wireless/rt2500 (1.1.0_beta3): Driver for the RaLink RT2500 wireless chipset
Found 2 matches
LittLe # emerge rt2570
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "rt2570".

Tiro,
No, its not in portage. Get rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107832
It works for me on both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
There are build and install instructions in the tarball.
will unpack it for you

flipy,
We were discussing this in #gentoo last night, (it was night my time).
Yes, the rt2570 is the usb model of rt2500 range of wireless adaptors.
Hmm. I could swear there was a readme but I can't find it now.
You need wireless support in the kernel then cd to the Module directory from the tarball andmakes a module called ra2750
should load it and create a device rausb0 which you can manually configure
with wireless-tools and ifconfig.
As soon as the device exists, will show it. If the modprobe fails, please post the errors
from the end of dmesg, so we can see what went wrong.

yes, you were right, but the rt2500 didn't work for me (modprobe ok but no dmesg output), but the rt2570 worked just fine.
so I hope it comes into the portage someday, would be great for it.
but I've also been searching for other packages and I've find out ural-linux, which seems to be something similar...
nevermind, sorry for my duplicate question and thanks for all!! |
