[kismac] Re: USB branch, ralink RT2500, "No supported USB device found!"

Hello Dave,

I did try it that way.

I am on a ppc

so
Which ralink driver should work for my device?
Which ralink driver works on ppc?
Is there anything else I need to change to add the device?

I'm more confused now than I was before subscribing to the list... :/

Cheers,
Jeroen
I put the questions on top as I have the impression they tend to get lost down there where i would put them

The little info I found on the stick did say it was an RT2500 (even the supplied drivers are RT2500). Let's give this rt73 a shot. So I changed the position on the IDs in the list (to the rt73 group) and modified

And it hangs.

This is false. the ralink drivers work fine on ppc. Infact the drivers were written using a powerbook g4 =] If kismac just hangs for you then your device is either not supported or broken. It could alost be a bug with kismac. Please try using the latest ralink build (not the main trunk build)
