+rt61 driver cvs release
+
+Driver for RaLink-based wireless network adapters using the rt61
+chipset. This package installs the kernel module and the firmware. It
+does NOT contain RaLink's binary configuration file rt61sta.dat. Use
+iwconfig to configure your card.
+
+This is a build from the daily snapshots of the source code. The md5sum
+cannot be used to check the validity of the downloaded file as it will
+change everytime the snapshot is re-generated.
+
+By default, this script will build the driver for your currently
+running kernel. To build it for a different kernel version, pass it on
+the command line when executing the script. For example:
+ KERNEL=2.6.23.1 ./rt61.SlackBuild
+Note that you'll need to follow the instructions in /extra for the
+nosmp-sdk if you're using one of the stock non-smp Slackware kernels;
+for custom kernels, this won't be an issue.
