Rather than sort out compile error on Ralink RA2500-Linux-STA-1.4.6.4 I tried the beta version from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads . It compiled and installed but modprobe could not find rt2500.ko, even though I specified the path and copied it to /lib/mmodules/<my kernel>/misc. Finally picked up the CVS version (rt2500-cvs-2006050713). Works fine. Did not try the utility so not sure about it. Now the big test with x85_64 kernel. Just thought I would post this in the event anyone else is struggling with Ralink based cards. Thanks again for your help.
