<snip> This says nothing about whether the machine has wireless hardware, or even necessarily about whether it has a driver for a wireless device loaded. (On some machines, 'ifconfig' with no options will only report interfaces which are in some sense 'up'.) Does 'ifconfig -a' report a wireless interface? What about 'lspci', and/or (for a more detailed but harder-to-read report) 'lshw' (from the package of the same name)? TTBOMK, the only thing which should be trying to load rt2860.bin is a driver for a wireless network adapter. If anything else is trying to, that's a bug. If the driver is trying to when you don't have that hardware, then there's a different bug somewhere; it could be anywhere from the hardware you do have misidentifying itself somehow, on up through the stack at least as far as udev. > I prefer uninstall it if so.

AFAIK, it's only needed if you intend to connect to a wireless network (ever) on that machine, and don't have some other software with which to manage that connection. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
