Something has changed.
I can't fetch the code just now, rt2x00-9999 is a CVS build and I get
| Code: | | cvs [login aborted]: connect to rt2400.cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.89):2401 failed: Connection refused |
Those symbol names are not in the 2.6.23-rc6 kernel, I've grepped fro them, nor are they in -rc7. So it must be the rt2x00 CVS code thats changed.
I'll try the CVS again tomorrow. |
Thanks! Let me know when you learn something new.

Aniruddha,
Its the manes in the kernel that have changed.
I started on a patch to rt2x00 then their CVS changed because a rerun of the same patch caused my work in progress patch to fail to apply.
So if CVS is changing, the real devs are working on it, or at least, making commits to their CVS.
I plan to give the rt2x00 devs a few days before I try again.

Ok, thanks for all your help Neddy. In the meantime I will play with my PC in order to learn some more therefor I might not have Gentoo available for some time. In the meantime the most importamt thing for me is that I want to learn how Gentoo wireless with wpa encryption works, therefor I consider purchasing a wifi PCI card. Thanks again.

Aniruddha,
You are still using rt2570 as it loaded before ndiswrapper.
It may be worse than that, both drivers may be attempting to control the hardware. You msy not load ndiswrapper while rt2570 is loaded.

Yes! Finally some result!!!  'iwlist wlan0 scanning' finally worked after:
| Code: | | # rmmod ndiswrapper |
| Code: | | # modprobe ndiswrapper |
Thanks a lot!
