MegaPC has the MSI MP54G2 for $38.50 (The site even has a link referring 
to linux drivers):
http://www.megapc.com.au/product_details_and_order.php?select_part_indx=3284

Does anyone know of a place where I can a rt2500 minipci based card 
cheaper (any brand will do)?

Thanks
Joey

Cool!

Can anyone recommend a rt2500 minipci a/b/g card, too? :-)


http://ralink.rapla.net/ gives you a nice list of their chips in
different form factors. Either the Gigabyte or Billionton would be
your best bet, as I haven't heard of any of the other brands.

Can anyone recommend a rt2500 minipci a/b/g card, too? :-)

Dude, I'm not meant to know those things! I just click at stuff and
things. I need a pie-chart. STAT!

But inspecting lsmod, the most likely culprit appears to be the rt2500
driver. It comes up as ra0.


Oh, that's neat. IIRC, the driver supports master mode. Ralink did a
great job in releasing their drivers under the GPL.[1]

Dude, I'm not meant to know those things! I just click at stuff and
things. I need a pie-chart. STAT!

But inspecting lsmod, the most likely culprit appears to be the rt2500
driver. It comes up as ra0.
