-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.

* 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;
+<pre>
+ apt-get -y install gcc linux-headers-`uname -r`
+ cd /usr/src/rt2400-1.2.1/Module
+ make && make install
+ echo "alias ra0 rt2400" >> /etc/modules.conf
+</pre>
+
+After this you should be able to set up ra0 under /etc/network/interfaces, the same procedure as any other WiFi card.
+
+There's also some Utilities included; they require c++ (apt-get install g++) and qt-x11, and I'm having trouble getting them to build but they're not required to get the card working.
