1 > Yes it's pointing to the correct kernel source - Thanks

3 I recompiled my kernel and modprobe rt61 worked. I now have an interface
4 that come up called ra0.
5
6 The following worked for me:
7
8 Added rt61 to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
9
10 # ln -s net.lo net.ra0
11
12 I edited /etc/conf.d/net
13 modules= ( "iwconfig" )
14 config_rao=( "null" )
15
16 # rc-update add net.ra0 default
17
18 Set ra0 to "null" because ra0 won't come up as dhcpc until configured.
19
20 # /etc/init.d/net.rao start
21 # iwlist ra0 scanning
22 gave me channel and essid to use
23
24 I created a script /root/scripts/d_link_rt61_up.sh
25 iwlist ra0 scanning
26 iwconfig ra0 essid [essid]
27 iwconfig ra0 channel 11
28 dhcpcd ra0
29
30 Added /root/scripts/d_link_rt61_up.sh to /etc/conf.d/local.start
31
32 Everything comes up no on boot.

34 Thank you everybody
