when i search for rt61 in portage (the driver for my wireless card), i see:
[I] net-wireless/ralink-rt61

Installed versions: 1.1.0.0(04:25:53 PM 07/14/2007)(kernel_linux)

* net-wireless/rt61

(i have ralink-rt61 installed)

recently my computer has been freezing and i suspect it's the wireless driver. so, er, i was wondering, which driver should i be using, rt61 or ralink-rt61?

thanks.

Whichever one works the best for you.

I'd use ndiswrapper for now. Works best for me.
