For EeePC 901 / EeePC 1000 Users and others.

I have done Gentoo ebuild for Ralink RT2860 Linux Wireless Driver (net-wireless/ralink-rt2860-1.8.0.0), you can grab my ebuild here. This may need firmware from Ralink to work.

Note: I have updated from 1.8.0.0 to 1.8.0.0-r1, Enable WPA Supplicant support by default and add networkmanager use flags to support linux wext and NetworkManager

This is official Ralink's GPL drivers.

For the drivers of official kernel tree (RT2x00), currently rt2x00 project does not release any drivers for RT2860 at all (It done some in git, but not consider usable because it incomplete). I think it will be out for test around 2.6.30. Drivers from rt2x00 are based on mac80211 stack and much better in linux userland support.

If you have RT61, RT73, RT24xx and RT25xx, suggested  to use rt2x00 drivers from offical source tree, available from 2.6.24 and later.
