005:00:0: Ralink Technologies product 0x0781 (miscellaneous network)

If somebody can point me to the right kernel files I'll try adding
this unknown 0x0781 to the matrix and see if this will work...
    

You will have to add it to "pcidevs" in "src/sys/dev/pci" and
run "make -f Makefile.pcidevs" afterwards.

Afterwards you will have to change ral_pci_match() in "if_ral_pci.c"
(in the same directory) to accept the new device identifier that
you defined.

	Kind regards

Getting closer... [I made up the RT2561C moniker...C for Clone[?]  I'd really like to learn how to do stuff like this, if someone is willing to teach...either on- or off-list.  Thanks.

BTW, I originally had Ubuntu 10.04 on this box.  It did not see the wifi card from the Install CD but did work fine once booted from the HD after install.
