=====Installing=====

Open up a shell and type:

  wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz
  tar xvfz rt61-cvs-daily.tar.gz
  cd rt61-cvs-*
  cd Module
  make


Then, as root, type:

  make install
  rmmod rt61pci 2>/dev/null
  modprobe rt61

You also need the following each time you want to use the device in monitor mode:

   iwpriv <interface name> rfmontx 1

For the above command, first make sure the interface is down.  You can bring the interface down with "ifconfig <interface name> down".

NOTE: This will download the Enhanced Legacy version of the driver. Recent kernels include the Next-Generation version of this driver (called rt61pci). The rt61pci driver is untested, but probably needs no patch besides the usual [[mac80211]] patches.
