    i just installed debian etch and i need a little help setting up my wireless. i have the files that i need but i am having problems with the instructions in the readme.

    For 2.6 series kernel:
    a. run 'cd STA/Module'
    'cp ../2.6x/Makefile .'

    b. $make all

    c. $cp RT2561.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/ # copy firmware
    $cp RT2561S.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/
    $cp RT2661.bin /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/

    d. run '/sbin/insmod rt61.ko' (as root)
    '/sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up'

    i am stuck on the first command. it tells me that there is no directory "STA/Module". so if anyone could help me with this that would be great. i want internet so i can setup beryl and some other things.

    cd /STA/Module

    cd.. change to <wherever>

    so you need to make a directory there and put the files you need in it perhaps.
    First try just making the directory

    mkdir /STA/Module ... but where?? etc/Wireless or ?????

    then try running the makefile again.. is there no config or configure file with the package?

    Without the readme and some more idea as to the full code of the package I can't do more than that


    I can promise you there is a lot more help with wireless and etch on the debian forums. Somebody can probably walk you through the process step by step.
