Hello,
I have a rt2500 based wireless network card, and I've been having some inconveniences with it. As far as i know, there is no binary package of the driver, so I can't just download and install, so i have to compile the module. This requires the kernel source so when I install arch, i compile my own kernel. I was wondering if there is a way for me to create my own binary package that I can install on the stock arch kernel so I don't have to compile my own kernel every time.

Unless things have changed recently, this doesn't work with the stock kernel because it has SMP enabled - this leads to the driver hanging as soon as the interface is configured.
I had to recompile the kernel just taking out the SMP to get it to work.

Theres no easy solution here. THe best thing would be to wait for rt2x00 to reach a somewhat usable state, in which case, yes I will definitely put it in the repos.
