Victor Hi Victor, Yes, you are correct - it's not an SL6 issue specifically as the RT2860 drivers aren't included in the SL6 (and RHEL6) kernel. Elrepo.org have previously provided these drivers for SL5 but finding testers for them was notoriously difficult so we simply haven't ported them over to SL6 yet. Now we have a potential tester in you, we (elrepo.org) would be glad to knock up a package for you to test. Would that be OK with you? Regards, Phil Just to tie off this thread, there is now a driver for the RAlink RT2860 Wireless device available for SL6 at elrepo: http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=120 Many thanks to Victor for helping test the package.
