I've recently bought that card (version 4, which is the one that uses the RT2500 chipset, as recommended) for use with gNewSense. It uses the RT2570 driver, which seems to be for cards using the RT2500 chipset which are USB. I've got it running quite easily out of the box with unencrypted and WEP networks. However, I ideally need to get it working with WPA, which I haven't managed yet. Apparently the driver handles all of the security stuff, so it doesn't use wpasupplicant. That also means that you can't use NetworkManager to get WPA working. I haven't even managed to use it to connect to unencrypted or WEP networks, so maybe it doesn't work at all with the driver. The RutilT utiltity at http://cbbk.free.fr/bonrom/ seems to work quite well instead (though I don't know why it won't let me connect to my WPA-encypted network). There's some quite useful stuff about the driver on the developers' website at http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ and http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=4&sid=f92feb44e368f7d9979268019cd19240 .

Yes, no reply as yet. Here is the syslog when I try to connect to a totally unencrypted wifi network, on the Zonet card, using the gnome NetworkManager applet: Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): 2 2f 77 70 61 5f 63 74 72 6c 5f 39 30 39 32 2d 35 00 62 30 Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): Setting authentication timeout: 5 sec 0 usec Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): EAPOL: External notification - portControl=ForceAuthorized Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): Wireless event: cmd=0x8b06 len=8 Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): Wireless event: cmd=0x8b1a len=16 Feb 28 13:40:52 cosmo NetworkManager: <information>^Iwpa_supplicant(13883): Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
