If the above command succeeded, it meant that there was no initrd
before. Otherwise you'd have needed the '-u' instead of '-c'.

Forgive me being picky: Did you run `grub-update2` after creating the
initramfs?  - Is there a message loading initrd... when booting
2.6.31-rt10-multimedia ?

It'll probably be tomorrow night.. I have built binary packages but
getting this right the debian-way (ie. common doc/source/manual
packages) is rather more tricky than I thought it would be.

yes, "Broadcom Corporation BCM43XX" is compiled as module, as are the
ralink drivers rt42xx rt5000, rt2501 and rt73.

For the Ralink to work you'll also need the firmware-ralink package
http://apt.64studio.com/backports/pool/main/f/firmware-nonfree/

A special case is the rt2460 for which there is no mainline kernel
support as of 2.6.31. You can get the official driver from ra-link and
patch it: http://rg42.org/blog/rt2460_and_linux_2.6.31

it is, and in the little time I have left for doing some audio work I
have not seen a single xrun on 2.6.31-rt which is even cooler..

cheers,
