Wireless (rt2500) problems with Rawhide
I have not been able to bring up a wireless connection on my Averatec 3250
using the built-in wireless (rt2500) with any 2.6.20 kernel in Rawhide. The
rt2500pci module is loaded, but running ifup ra0 gives me the following
output in /var/log/messages:

Mar 25 06:55:42 hercynite dhclient: Trying recorded lease 192.168.2.18
FWIW, the same procedure works fine in Ubuntu 7.04 beta. Bugzilla time, and if
so, which component?
