Copy FwRad16.bin from driver CD in to /lib/hotplug/firmware and remove all other firmwares from that directory. Note that filename is case sensitive. Just work on Hardy Heron but without WPA support. TNET1130.INF works. |

Works with rt2500, however, at least as of 9.04, the rt2500 driver is intolerably slow. Recommend using ndiswrapper (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699583). |
