Linksys WMP54G v4.1 Wireless PCI Card


kernel 2.6.18
lspci recognizes it as "RaLink RT2561/RT61"
iwconfig as no wireless extensions
ifconfig ra0/eth1 up does nothing
modprobe ndiswrapper give "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.18/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format
ndiswrapper -l gives "install drivers:...rt61 invalid driver!"
depmod -a outputs nothing
modified rt61sta.dat to match my wireless router settings

I just want to connect to my router. I am a very patient person but this is really starting to annoy me.

Hi,

I think it is better to native driver, (serialmonkey).

Happy Penguins!

I will have to tell you what I've told others with the same problem. Go to the serialmonkey website and grab the "rt61" nightly CVS build, untar it and read the README. Their drivers have very well for my install's, more so than the Ralink driver
