Just to reiterate, for both Ivo and John and people on the rt2400 list (who may not seem my earlier problem reports that went back and forth with Ivo), I'm willing to test any tree to get the driver working with my D-Link DWL-G122 stick revision B (which actually works with with the rt2500usb driver, if I boot with kernel 2.6.25, as mentioned above, but has problems with 2.6.26-rc* kernels). I was a bit busy with the lame project (we have just released a new upstream release, 3.98, after two years of work!) and I have not kept up with testing the -rc8 and -rc9 kernels that Linus released in the interim, but I am downloading the patches so that I can see their behavior. Actually, I did some tests with 2.6.25.4 (which is the kernel that I am using on my x86-64, pending and update soon to 2.6.25.10 or whatever is the point-release du jour) and I was very happy to see that I don't need the non-free firmware from ralink. Just as a reminder: with 2.6.25.4, I can work with it on x86-64, but not with PowerPC. With recent 2.6.26-rc* kernels, it stopped working on x86-64 also. :( Unfortunately, I may be moving in the near future and I would like to bring my iBook G3 laptop with me (even if dated) so that I can continue my work on some projects and the only way to connect and to work on then would be with the USB stick, as I won't probably have wired conection. Right now, I am unable to connect to the network with the USB stick, as Ivo mentioned, due to some register differences, which I keep here (see below) for reference (sorry for the long e-mail, but this is to keep the context as we have already entered another month and the issue is not fixed and I hope that Linus won't release the final 2.6.26 yet, as this kernel will most probably be the one used by some distributions). As Linus mentioned on <alpine.LFD.1.10.0807051557500.3016@...dy.linux-foundation.org>, he would like a lot of people testing the changes---no, this bug submitter has not been kidnapped :)---and this is what I am trying to do (actually, I'm willing to do git bisect, test new trees---you name it). Oh, just as a last piece of information, the USB wireless stick works fine if I boot MacOS X, but Apple has dropped the support for older PowerPC machines (and even some not so old ones :( ), this is one reason more for me to want a working Linux release. Thanks in advance to everybody, Rogério Brito. P.S.: Here follows Ivo's comments on the register differences taken from debugfs: > In case other people are interested in the register differences as well, > attached is the real difference between the registers.
