At first glance everything should be fine. The driver gets loaded
gdi@mylaptop:/etc$ lsmod | grep 2860
rt2860sta 522968 1
and there are to me no obvious problems, except for the missing
RT2860STA.dat file. This one I downloaded from RaLinks web page and
placed it to the location, where it was expected, but this did not
change anything so I removed it again.
Do I miss something obvious? Scanning for networks fails (wireless is
working on my other laptop without problems)
