Thanks. These would be the correct files. The ones on ralinktech.com are probably outdated, as Ralink doesn't seem to be that diligent to update the firmware that can be downloaded from their web-site as new versions come out. Usually the latest versions of the firmware are included in the newer versions of the Linux drivers they post on their website. --- Gertjan
