[Solved] is there support for Ralink RT5370 chipset in TCL?

GNUser:
Rich, you are always so helpful. Thank you. You saved me a headache.
I will recompile the kernel while I wait for this device to arrive, with that config option enabled.

GNUser:
I found this nearby, which seems similar to what I need:

--- Code: ---CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT33XX=y

--- End code ---
so I'm going to go with this:

--- Code: ---CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y

--- End code ---

It rarely is included in the sources, since when it's external, it's easier to update it. The peripherals you mention most likely have it internally.

Rich:
Hi GNUser
Yes, that is the correct setting.

In case you are not aware, kernel config files are not intended to be edited directly. Options can interact. Use the command:

--- Code: ---make menuconfig
--- End code ---
to make changes.

GNUser:
Thanks, Rich. I know. But things are so hard to find in the menu with all the nesting.

Do you have any tricks on how to find things in the kernel configuration menu (for example, where to find the checkbox that corresponds to CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX)?
