(I think it's likely you never fixed up your /usr/src/linux symlink and |
| 20 |
ralink-rt61 is being compiled against the wrong kernel.) |

You might consider butting something like: |
| 23 |
ln -snf linux-"$(uname -r)" /usr/src/linux |
| 24 |
in local.start to fix up your kernel symlink on each boot. (Though, I hate |
| 25 |
to |
| 26 |
think what that would do if /usr/src/linux was a directory rather than a |
| 27 |
symlink.) |

Probably not, but if you are actually running 2.6.17-gentoo-r8, then I'll |
| 33 |
need |
| 34 |
to see the output of dmesg around the time you modprobed rt61. |
