This card works flawlessly even with WEP after I got the driver compiled and configured. On Debian Sarge, it was not that difficult. I made a symbolic link to my kernel-headers called /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-1-386. Then, I installed the latest cvs drivers (April 21, 2005) from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ because the stable and beta ones didn't work. The driver compiled and installed fine by following the instructions in the readme. After that, I saw that it edited the /etc/modules.conf file, but that is bad in Debian. To fix this, I took the line that it added, which said "alias ra0 rt2500" and put in a text file called /etc/modutils/rt2500. I ran update-modules as root and the config file was fixed. I then got it configured using iwconfig and the tutorial on this site: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ (Just skip down to the Configure Interface part). To activate it, I type dhclient ra0, but I'm going to try to make it do that when the computer boots up.
That's all. So far the card hasn't caused any problems.
