By default openSUSE 10.2 automatically loads the correct driver. This even happened during a network install (booted from the CD). The wizard prompted me for the WPA information, and that was it. If you use openSUSE, this is one of the most featue-packed and easy to setup cards you can get.<br>

There is a version 4.1 around:
# 00:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
Using the RT61 drivers from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com it works perfectly including wpa/tkip encryption.
