Have you tried contacting the people at RaLink? I understand that they are very supportive of open source development. As a result, there is a Linux driver for both the rt2400 and rt2500. The project page is http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400. BTW, this driver seems solid. I flogged it hard with flood pings and it held up well. My rt2500 is a Belkin model F5D7010.PCMCIA card, which I have stuck in a laptop running Slackware. Unfort., I need it so I can't send it to you. I am not aware of any PCI cards using the rt2500. Given RaLink's willingness to work with the open source community, wouldn't the rt2500 be a better candidate for a native driver, rather than Project Evil? Sandy
