before, my card was listed by pciconf (but isn't anymore), as noneX
now, I can view it using usbdevs:
[...]
port 4 addr 2: high speed, power 300 mA, config 1, 802.11 bg WLAN(0x2573),
Ralink(0x148f), rev 0.01
[...]
I used to test WIFI with two different chipset.
I generated the first driver using ndisgen, and compiled back the kernel
(adding some lines into headers) to deal with the second one.
I don't remember which one I use here. But my problem might come from a bad
driver. (but most likely: PEBKAC)
Thanks for your help
