Comment 152 for bug 210725

Unfortunately RT2860 isn't yet supported out of box by Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 alpha 3, but the latest driver from debian source tree works on my eee 901. The installation procedure:

- Download rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb from http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/rt2860-source/download
$ wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rt2860-source/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb

- install source .deb:
$ sudo dpkg -i rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb

- compile
$ sudo aptitude install debhelper module-assistant
$ sudo module-assistant auto-install rt2860

- install the module
$ sudo modprobe rt2860sta
this should activate the new wireless interface without reboot

- to load the module automatically on each reboot, add rt2860sta to /etc/modules

Installation procedure originally for 8.10 from http://k.dieplz.net/evolution/2008/11/22/wlan-in-ubuntu-8-10-on-new-msi-wind-u100/
