I have downloaded the current rt2x00 driver and it is installed. iwconfig tells me that Arch can see the card.
I would like to tell the system that on channel 5 of "bucky" please use dhcp and connect using "passphase" and the router uses WPA encryption. The wiki seems to give a lot of information, but alas, it stuck me as contradictory. I'll try to write a simpler how-to if I ever get this card working.
Would someone who is using wpa encryption please share with me you configuration file[s] so that I might see how it is done?

The wiki on rt2x00 is out of date by now. Just configure wpa_supplicant correctly and keep in mind that rt2x00 is still VERY beta.

Sorry for the delay but I have been out of town.
What portion of the wiki would you recommend to use to set up wpa_supplicant?
I use a rt2500pci and they claim that the driver is working for this part of the rt2x00 project. I hope they are correct.
Thanks.

If you want to try it, just refer to the wpa_supplicant documentation, use the wext driver and the wlan0 interface.
For wpa-psk, you can use the legacy rt2500 driver, which is also in the unstable repo and works with wpa via iwpriv calls (see the documentation in the rt2500 driver for information).

how would that script be modified for a static IP? I am using rt2500 with wpa and the following is my /etc/network/interfaces for my ubuntu install:
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0iface ra0 inet static
address 192.168.1.49
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid abcdef
pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=3
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="12345"
pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
thanks. trying to get rt2500 to work with wpa. hopefully this will do it.
