I don't use localmodconfig to know its quirks, but as I understand it you should use it with a LiveCD which has *already* probed the card and loaded the module that you are interested in. You can check with lsmod that the module in question has been loaded. It goes without saying that it is safer if you have added/powered on the hardware before you boot with the LiveCD. Alternatively, use make xconfig or menuconfig and enable each kernel item in the list shown above the module that you are interested in. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The option for RT2X00 is set to N, which prevents the menu from displaying the option for RT61PCI. Find RT2X00 and set it to Y/M, and then you'll be able to find the option for RT61PCI. Note that RT2X00 might have unmet dependencies, which will require going another step back. The X11 versions make that navigation a bit easier, and you can directly toggle the settings there (if deps are met). Rich

Not sure what kernel version you're running, but I believe the kernel config you're after is: grep CONFIG_RT2X00 .config # CONFIG_RT2X00 is not set Once enabled, you should be able to select the right config option for your device. Hope this helps. My apologies, I thought you said you had trouble finding the right config for your card, but after reading your original post once again, I realised that I hadn't read it right in the first place. 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 does have the source files for your card though: du -a /usr/src/linux/*|sed '/rt61pci/!d;s/.*\t//' /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.h /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt61pci.c

Unless they are all set to y or m, it will not show up in the menus. I believe make xconfig has an option to show such options. -- Neil Bothwick Time is the best teacher; unfortunately it kills all its students. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
