Today I tried the  latest rt2500 CVS driver. It was a total disaster,
the machine didn't boot anymore. Thanks to all the rt2500 mess, I am now
fluent in blacklisting drivers and reloading ndiswrapper, so I booted
with a feisty cdrom, mounted the harddisk, and blacklisted rt2500 again.


This is what you should NOT do in feisty:

* download the latest rt2500 daily from:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads

* follow the instructions from Ubuntu Wiki for ra2500:

#head-afca59bb303accf7d6ee9144facd385f7c55fde3

After compiling the new module, I did:

sudo cp ~/rt2500-cvs-daily/Module/rt2500.ko /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

echo "alias ra0 rt2500" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2500

sudo depmod
