Yesterday i did make clean install of Gutsy using PXE, and i am trouble having to get my wireless card working. Computer where i installed is Compaq armada M700 and wireless adapter is Tekcomm NE-9428-g 54M using Ralink rt2500 chipset ( http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html ). By default gutsy rt2500pci drivers the card did not work, so i tried using the old drivers (rt2500) by using this guide -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3595458&postcount=6. Still no go for the adapter. So currently i have no working wireless network connection :(

Some details:

passeli@pelikaani:/etc/default$ sudo iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

irda0 no wireless extensions.

That's about all the information, because it seems that i cannot even get the driver working corretcly so that interface would show up.
