Comment 169 for bug 210725

I tried to compile the kernel with the driver, and it worked.

I'm not sure what part of what I did made it work, but here's the steps I took:

aptitude purge rt2860-source
aptitude install rt2860-source
m-a prepare
m-a a-i rt2860-source ( I also tried with "m-a a-i rt2860" but neither worked - it said it couldn't find the deb file, but somehow in the process my wifi card suddenly turned on by itself, so I've done something right)

You need to have the module-assistant package installed, by the way.
