RaLink rt3090 support
Hi all,
I installed F12 on a Eee PC 1001HA. Everything workes fine except the
wireless chipset, RaLink RT3090
Google turned up various leads, such as this thread:

One poster writes:
"Kernel-2.6.32-0.63.rc8.git2.fc13 includes a module for the rt3090 chip in
the staging directory."
Another writes:
"Fedora's kernel package contains some of the staging modules. I don't know
what criteria they have for choosing what staging modules get into the
Fedora package. Most likely the rt3090 got in the 2.6.32-0.63.rc8.git2.fc13
package by accident. You can file a bug in bugzilla.redhat.com and ask them
to reinclude it.
Meanwhile rpmfusion offers a kmod-staging package that you can try, which
covers (most of) those staging modules that don't come with Fedora's
kernel."
Someone filed a bug against this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548805
One of the followups indicates:
Staging: remove no longer needed rt3090 driver
rt2860 handles now all rt2860/rt3090 chipsets.
Now I am thoroughly confused. :)
From Fusion, I installed kmod-staging:
kmod-staging-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686-2.6.31.5-2.fc12.10.i686
staging-kmod-addons-2.6.31.5-2.fc12.noarch
kmod-staging-2.6.31.5-2.fc12.10.i686
as well as the rt2860 driver:
kmod-rt2860-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686-2.1.2.0-3.fc12.12.i686
rt2860-2.1.2.0-2.fc12.noarch
However, when I rebooted the Eee, the wireless card still isn't recognized.
What are my options at this point?
Wait for 2.6.32 kernel? Will it make it into F12 or not until F13?
Try to install via kmod-staging? Not sure how, can't find any man page or
docs anyway.
Compile the driver myself? Version dd 27 january, source:

Install rawhide? Not crazy about that idea.
Thanks.
