I am trying to setup my wireless device but still I face some problems
Every time i login I have to go to the command line and do ifconfig up.
My module is rt61pci, at least I think! How can I see it?
I added "rt61pci" on the modules of the rc.conf but still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Have you followed the wiki Wireless Setup page?
The first step in selecting your driver is to identify the chipset - this is done with the lspci command. If you don't understand the response, post it here for someone else to look at.

what network device name? eth0, wlan0 ath0?
what network options are in rc.conf? eth0="dhcp"?
are you using wicd or some other network manager?
we need more info.

The problem I get now is:
modprobe 80211
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
FATAL: Module 80211 not found.
/etc/rc.conf
wlan0="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid belkin54v"
INTERFACES=(eth0 wlan0)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network rt61pci netfs crond alsa kdm samba)
I don't have a network manager. Any suggestions?

There is no module called 80211, hence the fatal error. Why are you trying to load it?
There are modules called cfg80211, mac80211, and lib80211 - however, these are typically loaded automatically as dependencies of the required driver module.
As already suggested, please read the Wireless Setup wiki page.

Apologies for not explaining very well.
I do follow the guide and I am reading here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … eta_driver
Using the driver
Setting the interface up
If you have module autoloading enabled, the drivers should be loaded automatically when you boot your machine or insert the device. If this doesn't work or autoloading is disabled, load the modules manually:
modprobe 80211
modprobe rc80211_simple
modprobe $driver
where $driver is one of the following: rt2500pci, rt2400pci, rt2500usb or rt61pci.
When the driver is loaded, you will have two interfaces, wmaster0 and wlan0.

Does anyone has any thoughts or suggestions?

The rt2x00 drivers haven't been beta for a long time - that page is obsolete. For the third time: follow the main Wireless Setup page.
