[gentoo-amd64] "emerge rt2500" error (drivers for ASUS wl-167g USB Wireless adapter)

[Daniele Salatti]

Hi!
I'm getting some errors while emerging net-wireless/rt2500. It seems I
have some problem with the kernel configuration options and I need to
recompile it. Can you explain me which options should I set? Below the
output of "emerge rt2500".
TIA
Daniele

Your milage will vary but this should provide the necessary clues:

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

Processor type and features
    [ ] Symmetric multi-processing support          (uncheck this)

exit, save

make
make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/something

modify your grub or lilo boot

boot the new kernel.

emerge rt2500

you need to disable symmetric multiprocessing in your kernel. that's somewhere in "CPU Type and Features" menu

I have same adapter & could not get it work too.No error messages in  
logfiles, only
info that Asus wireless usb adapter found & module rt2500 loaded.
When module is loaded & adapter connected to USB, the terminal hangs &  
other USB devices stop working.
USB devices will work again only after reboot.Have no idea how to get it  
work :(
