Hi. I'm sorry to bother. I'm new to this. I have two computers, one a custom built machine, and one a 3 year old HP, both with the same wireless card and running fedora 7.
The specific kernel is:
2.6.23.14-64.fc7
I did a few googles, and pulled up these links:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/rt61.html
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...how-to-473932/
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...less-card.html
I realized that all the directions were a little different, so I tried to piecemeal them together. However, it didn't work. So, I did a search here, and it doesn't seem like anyone has done this recently. I found one done on January 21, but to be quite honest, even the first post confused me quite a bit.
The snag I keep hitting seems to me to have something to do with the rt61sta.dat, because up until that point, everything seems to work right. So if someone could point me in the right direction to finally get the wireless up and running on these two machines, I'd be grateful. I'm going to post the data from the custom built machine, since it is the biggest priority, and I'm hoping I can take what I learn working on it and figure the other one out using that information. To start, here is my iwconfig:
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth2 no wireless extensions.
in addition, here is my lspci:

here's my modprobe.conf:

options snd-card-0 index=0

blacklist rt61pci
blacklist rt2x00pci
blacklist rt2x00lib
alias ra0 rt61
and my modprobe -v rt61:
[root@localhost ~]# modprobe -v rt61
FATAL: Module rt61 not found.
finally, here is my rt61sta.dat, which may have something to do with it.

as an afterthought, I do have lan access through a wire, which is how i'm posting this, which may be interfering (if this is an ignorant statement, please let me know and why).
If anyone could through some help my way, I'd appreciate it.
