30 I'm running 3.12.21-gentoo-r1. Not sure what kernel version you're
31 running, but I believe the kernel config you're after is:
32 grep CONFIG_RT2X00 .config
33 # CONFIG_RT2X00 is not set
34
35 Once enabled, you should be able to select the right config option for
36 your device.
37
38 Hope this helps.

41 My apologies, I thought you said you had trouble finding the right
42 config for your card, but after reading your original post once again, I
43 realised that I hadn't read it right in the first place.

45 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 does have the source files for your card though:
46 du -a /usr/src/linux/*|sed '/rt61pci/!d;s/.*\t//'
47 /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.h
48 /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.c
