5 Kernels before 2.6.22 could be configured with "CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y"
6 which would allow the rt2500 legacy driver for the Ralink wireless
7 chipset to compile. I've had this combination working now for over a year.
8
9 Starting with kernel 2.6.22, NET_RADIO is apparently no longer a
10 configuration parameter, so I can't compile the rt2500 legacy driver,
11 nor can I compile the newer rt2x00 driver which also depends on NET_RADIO.
12
13 Has anyone gotten a rt2500/rtx00 driver to compile with 2.6.22? What
14 patches are needed? Is there a HOWTO somewhere? (The Gentoo Wiki
15 articles "rt2500 on AMD64" and "rt2x00" don't seem to address my
16 issue. In any case, neither the latest CVS of rt2500 (2007051606) nor
17 the latest ebuild (net-wireless/rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007020911) compile
18 with KERNDIR=/usr/src/linux-.6.22-gentoo-r1. The latest ebuild
19 compiled just fine with kernels before 2.6.22.)

21 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
