In the latest sources from Linus.git there is this warning: #ifdef CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN /* * Unclear what kind of devices these are (they aren't supported= by the * vendor driver). */ /* Sitecom */ { USB_DEVICE(0x0df6, 0x0040), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt2800usb_ops) }, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And there is your device, FWIW. Now, enabling CONFIG_RT2800USB_UNKNOWN is beyond my abilities. Even though it's definitely present in the Kconfi= g file, I can't get it to show up in menuconfig. That option is new since 2.6.31-gentoo-r10, so I'm guessing the existing driver doesn't support th= at particular device yet. I'd happily be wrong if someone knows otherwise. BTW, the driver code that's rejecting your device could be commented out in drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c (lines 2339-2359). (If you cho= ose to rebuild the driver that way -- don't blame me for any death/destructio= n or loss of data it may cause. The RF chip is the high-power part of the adapter, so driving that chip incorrectly could do it damage, maybe.)
