    Post Linksys drivers for Linux

    Howdy folks.

    Any of you guys know a decent source for Linksys Linux drivers at all?
    I'm just downloading Ubuntu, as I've recently been playing around with Mac OSX at work and it's got me in the mood for playing around with Unix-based systems.

    I know you can use NdisWrapper, but I thought I'd check to see if there were any *proper* drivers available first.

    Cheers in advance for any help!

    Ralink rt2x00 device.

    1) connect to intarweb somehow (e.g. a wired connection)
    2) open a terminal
    3) type "sudo aptitude install module-assistant"
    4) type "sudo m-a prepare"
    5) type "sudo m-a a-i rt2500-source"

    this may require "universe" to be enabled, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages

    edit: the above is UNNECCESSARY on ubuntu 6.06, which includes the driver (rt2570.ko) by default, and should use it automatically when an appropriate device is connected
