Don't need need to compile drivers, but upgrade to kernel 2.6.22


Install the RT2x00 wireless network drivers -loadable kernel modules for
wireless network cards using Ralink RT2x00 chips.

something like rt2x00-modules-2.6.22-2-686

Install wireless tools

Install RutilT which is GTK config

Run RutilT


Does this help?

Sorry about the stupidity of the next question; how to upgrade to
2.6.22, I'm currently running stable. I looked at doing it manually (
download source etc.) but thought someone might know a quicker more
debian way, like using apt-get. I did google it, but got a lot of hits
about moving from 2.4 to 2.6.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

The website http://www.backports.org has kernel 2.6.22 already compiled
and apt-gettable. The instructions to use backports.org /should/ be on
the website, but this is from my sources.list:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free

I can't get a kernel image more recent than 2.6.21, I've tried
apt-get -t unstable install kernel-image
but it says I've the most recent kernel.

I've just upgraded to lenny, but this hasn't helped.

Also, using apt-cache search I couldn't find any information about the
compiled modules.

Wondering if I wouldn't just be better off downloading an updated source
and trying to do it manually.

Hi James,

add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny contrib non-free main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable contrib non-free main

and 2.6.22 kernel should be available

cheers
