i have a ralink card that is a rt2500 and i use the rt2500 drivers i have some issues with the config files...here my config: # cat /etc/conf.d/net # This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.* # scripts in /etc/init.d.

That looks more like a driver problem. I have 2 rt2500 cards and am using upstreams beta4 driver without this issue. Could you test their nightly tarball please? http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz
he problem is that because of ide problems i am now using the new pata driver from the 2.6.19 kernel and the rt2x00 driver is not yet compatible with the 2.6.19 kernel i am also using upstream beta4 drivers...
Does this happen with baselayout-2? If so, re-open.
