OK, I've tried these a number of times in the past but the adaptor won't play
ball. Even basic commands like 'iwconfig wlan0 up' will not work.
Hmm - you might have to do:
ifconfig wlan0 up
prior to any iwconfig command.
When you just tpye:
iwconfig
What do you get?

# modprobe -v rt2500usb debug=1
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r6/rt2x00/rt2500usb.ko debug=1
FATAL: Error inserting rt2500usb
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r6/rt2x00/rt2500usb.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg shows;
rt2500usb: Unknown parameter `debug
That's because I did not compile the driver with the debug USE flag. I did
try to do this once and a debugfs error came up.

OK, you'll need to follow the steps in here:

and with regards to setting the date, use the -D option, like so: -D
2006-12-09
Thanks much!
