Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-3-generic

I am testing the 8.10 Alpha 6 build on an ASUS eeepc 901. This laptop uses the ra2860 wireless chipset and no driver is included out of the box for this build and it would be very helpful if it did. I believe the eeepc 1000 series uses this same chipset as well as a number of motherboards.

The vendor, RALink, provides source with binary package at

http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0708_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.7.0.0.tar.bz2

This package fails to compile because of a change in the source headers in the new kernel version. I am attaching the output from make but have not yet identified the fix.
