-This card was working under debian using http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/ but I set it up a long time ago, and I had already compiled my own kernel so I don't know how easy or hard it would have been with a stock kernel.

-I'm now working on it under ubuntu - zcat  
-  
 * http://www.flamingspork.com/blog/?p=338 lists a way to build the driver. 
+ (that's rt2500 which possibly isn't the same thing, and I found it quite hard to follow)  
 * http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-October/008665.html implies it should be in Hoary anyway! 
+ (But it doesn't appear to be)  
+  
+[Get the sources|http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107832&package_id=116419&release_id=269036] and unpack them somewhere appropriate (I'll assume /usr/src/)  
+  
+Then, as root;  
+  
+ apt-get install gcc kernel-headers-`uname -r`  
+ cd /usr/src/rt2400-1.2.1/Module  
+ make && make install  
+ echo "alias ra0 rt2400" >> /etc/modules.conf  
+  
+  
+After this you should be able to set up ra0 under /etc/network/interfaces, the same procedure as any other WiFi card, but you might also want the ra2400 utilities installed.  
+  
+(Tentatively, this should involve  
+ apt-get install (whatever package provides "qt-x11-free-3.1.1 or later" ?)  
+ cd /usr/src/rt2400-1.2.1/Utility  
+ ./Configure && make && make install  
+I'm still working on this part)
