WMP54G under amd64 - anyone got it working?



Hi,

I am trying to get my WMP54G wireless card working under amd64 (etch). I tried
compiling the kernel driver from ralink, but while it compiles ok (lots of
warnings but no errors) when I try to load it I get no errors, but when I try
to bring up the card I get an error and the system becomes incredibly
unstable (and the card does not work).

Anyone had any luck getting this card working? What about with another driver?
