The WMP54G version 4.1 works flawlessly with the RT61 drivers by the rt2x00 project. http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/ The RutilT WLAN manager tool works perfectly. Recommended!

I´ve edited two files. First one is "/etc/conf.d/net.wlan0" ---------------------CODE----------------------- modules=("wpa_supplicant") wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" # Dynamic Network configuration config_wlan0=( "dhcpcd" ) # Static Network configuration # Replace SSID with name of your SSID # config_SSID=( "192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 # broadcast 192.168.1.255" ); # routes_SSID=( "default via 192.168.1.1" ) # dns_servers_SSID=( "192.168.1.1" ) # gateways_SSID=( "192.168.1.1" ) ---------------------CODE----------------------- And second file is "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" after installing "wpa_supplicant" ---------------------CODE----------------------- ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # You must be a member of wheel ctrl_interface_group=wheel # update_config=0 fast_reauth=1 ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="YourSSID" psk="YourVeryVerySecureKey" pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP priority=5 } network={ key_mgmt=NONE priority=-9999999 } ---------------------CODE----------------------- With these settings I can run both WPA I+II, eather with static network, or over dhcp. ;-)
