rt2×00 is a development effort to create a Linux driver for wireless 802.11b and 802.11g cards that are based on the Ralink rt2400 and rt2500 chipsets.
Second BETA release of a rt61 legacy driver. Please see the changelog for a full list of changes. rt2x00 development is still coming along, so hopefully this resolves some more user issues in the mean time.
This release is the third preview of the rt2x00 driver. Please see the changelog for more details.
We are interested in seeing results from people configuring and attempting associations on open AP's. This will be the last BETA release before our migration to a new core ieee80211 stack.
Any bugs you find please open a new thread on the forums here for discussion. After review we may then ask you to promote the bug into SorceForge.
This release is the second preview of the rt2x00 driver. We have been working on stability and association mostly. Please see the changelog for more details.
We are interested in seeing results from people configuring and attempting associations to both open AP's and secured.

Tonight we have released the first BETA for our rt2x00 Driver Rebuild project. This is a developed-from-the-ground-up driver that we have been developing in a hope to stabalise support for the Ralink rt2x00 chipset family, which includes the 802.11b rt2400 chipset, the 802.11g rt2500 chipset and the 802.11g USB rt2570 chipset.
These rollup all the work we have been doing in CVS of late. Any bugs you find, please report them to SourceForge. Of course, before raising any bugs you should have read the Module/TESTING file plus the Sticky post on raising bugs in the forums.
If you have a support request with these Beta's feel free to open a new Thread in the appropriate forum.
As you will be able to see from the new icons in the menu bar of the website we have installed some PHPBB2 Forum software. We are trying to centralise our support for the project and feel that this is the best way to move forward. This will consolidate the SourceForge forums, the support I was giving on the Ralink forums plus the Support Requests that were coming through this mailing list.
If everyone could migrate away from the SourceForge forums and onto the new PHPBB forums it would be appreciated.
We would like to announce that Ralink have provided us with information that will allow us to add USB support to our rt2x00 driver. Previously we basically had resigned to the fact that we would have to reverse engineer support through trial-and-error testing but this new documentation will allow us to get a better feel for how the chipset itself works.
Work will begin alongside the rt2x00 Beta development that Ivo is currently heading up. We hope to have basic USB support included in our upcoming Alpha. If anyone is keen to assist and has kernel/USB development experience then please contact myself off-list.
From today, Ralink have released their rt2500 driver also under a GPL license. Just like we did with the rt2400 driver we intend to pick up development for this rt2500 source code and continue to bug fix and enhance this 802.11g driver.
The main reason to get excited about this GPL is the fact that we can now use the source in our source-rebuild project (aka experimental, aka rt2x00). The driver that Ivo is working on is getting close to a BETA stage and since this GPL announcement we plan to include support for BOTH rt2400 and rt2500 in the same single driver (herein called rt2x00).
So, I've reconfigured SF today to support both drivers. For the time being until the rt2x00 driver is completed and stable we will support both rt2400 and rt2500 seperatly. Please, feel free to log bugs against the rt2500 v1.0.0 version. Please note that any Feature Requests you raise will most likely get rolled into rt2x00 when it gets released.
If you have any questions please feel free to post to the Mailing Lists.
Also, should have another surprise for you all tomorrow :-)
