It sort of works with the ral driver; I can set the ssid and inet and other values, but it won't associate with the access point or establish a useful connection. I've tried compiling ndis drivers for both the Linksys and a Belkin F5D7000 v. 7032 that I bought for my XP box. Both drivers crash the system when they load, leading to a reboot. Groveling through vmcore doesn't give me any clues about why the Belkin ndis crashes. The Linksys crash sends a message that it can't open /compat/ndis/rt2561s.bin. I googled for the firmware files and put them in /compat/ndis, but ndis still crashes. Both cards work fine on the XP box. Has anyone gotten either card to work on 7.2, either by using the ral driver or by compiling an ndis driver?
