Builds the rt73-1.0.3.6 native ralink driver for RT2571W/RT2671 (RT73) based dongles. Added to sunrise overlay as net-wireless/rt73 Build tested on ~x86 P3 and Athlon-xp. Should work on amd64 too. Its not big endian safe so its broken on PPC. I only have the Belkin USB Wireless 54g Ver 3000uk to test with, which was not in the drivers list of Vendor and Device IDs. The ebuild adds it.

Oops - I missed the header $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-wireless/rt61/rt61-1.1.0_beta1.ebuild,v 1.1 2006/07/01 12:12:16 genstef Exp $
It does not compile here. A working ebuild can be found here: http://snipurl.com/z67p I needed to comment out this: #S=${WORKDIR}/${MY_P} and then: src_unpack (){ unpack ${A} mv ${WORKDIR}/${MY_P} ${WORKDIR}/${P} ^^ mv the the directory unpacked to ${S}
I get this error message: # emerge -av rt73 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

You can get a working ebuild against kernels later than 2.6.17 from http://gentoo.org/~neddyseagoon where you need the entire rt73 directory. It also has some new device IDs added. I really need to update sunrise with this ebuild. It was hosted here for testing against the new device IDs only and will be taken down when sunrise is updated. Meanwhile, real life has got in the way.
