Hey AF.
First of all - sorry about my badly english - but I try the best I can.
Well, I'm trying to help a friend with setting up Linux for the first time - using the internet as the communicationway - We're lives like 500´km from each other.
Well we have it all installed, and the network are working just fine. But we' re having a huge problem about the wireless network. It's not build into the laptop, so he put in a card.
Well I found out that its using rt2500 as the driver.
But after installing it and modprobing the different as the wiki says(Wich isn't much - I think) we're running into the problem. No netcards are showing nothing.
We' re using KDE and Arch 0.7.2 ! After installing the driver we added the module in rc.conf and added the following about the network :
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
THat´s what I can read about this from the wiki page - but nothing shows and no interfaces have wireless extensions???
So hopefully someone can help me about the problem. I have study all the logfiles, but nothing unusually there.
Thanks

When you modprobe rt2500, check dmesg to see if it says anything about it (I used to use the rt2400 driver and it was quite good for reporting stuff, hopefully rt2500 will be the same...)
