Where does this file come from? It is installed by the rt2500 package if you want to manage the wireless card using the X interface. If you want to manage the wireless card with iwconfig, you don't need this file. It is not provided by the rt2500-modules-... package but by the rt2500 package. I guess you have installed it and then removed it without purging it. Could you please send me the output of "dpkg -l rt2500" ? Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
