DLink DWL-G510/Ralink RT61 and Fedora 7

[Joachim Kunze]

Hi Jonathan,

I've just tested miniPCI cards with the RT2561/RT61 chipset and they
don't work reliably with the driver included in F7.

BUT

I've used the rt2x00 CVS drivers directly from from the project:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads

They work very reliably, good connection and an excellent long distance
reception, but the performance is with 2.25MB/s average.

I'd recommend an atheros chipset based card as the performance is
better. If you want to have the card supported in the future by the
Fedora project go for the ralink-based card.

Cheers,

Jo
