Installing RA2500 Driver [solved]

[cwaltrs]

I am trying to install the latest linux drivers for my ra2500 wireless card. (According to the sourceforge ndiswrapper HCL, ralink 2500 does not work correctly under ndiswrapper.) I downloaded and unpacked the code, but I can't seem to 'make' it. The README file says:

=====================

Build Instructions:

====================

For 2.4 series kernel:

a. $tar -xvzf RT2500-Linux-STA-x.x.x.x.tar.gz

go to "./RT2500-Linux-STA-x.x.x.x/Module" directory.

 

b. Use 'chmod 755' command to change access right of following script files :

'load', 'unload', 'Configure'

 

c. run 'cp ./2.4.x/Makefile .' and 'cp ./2.4.x/load .'

 

d. $make confimake: *** No rule to make target `config'. Stop.g # config build linux os version

 

e. $make all # compile driver source code

 

I have 2.6.12-12mdk, so I just changed 2.4 to 2.6. When I try 'make config', I get the error:

make: *** No rule to make target `config'. Stop.

 

I found another file in the Utilites subdirectory called How_To_Compile.txt, which says:

How to compile

----------------------

This Configuration Utility Application was developed by Qt/X11 Free Edition.

You can install the Qt/X11 Free Edition development when install the Linux OS by

selecting the Qt/X11 development package or you can find it on Trolltech's website.

 

http://www.trolltech.com/

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-free-3.2.1.tar.gz

 

After install the package then follow the steps.

 

1.) qmake -o Makefile raconfig2500.pro

2.) make

 

I have qmake installed, but I cannot get this to work either.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Solved.

 

The answer is to download from serialmonkey.com, not ralinktech. The serialmonkey install worked flawlessly.
