given the fact that the rt2x00 drivers are not released as a module
itself and only as part of a whole offshot kernel makes me wonder
where you got the driver.
And using git was really making me frustrated it never completed a
download it always errored out for me.

How did you build the driver from buildroot every time I tried it was
trying to build the rt2750 for the next kernel. Thats another thing I
noticed I did find a rt2x00 from debian sight somewhere and built it.
I was told on the rt2x00 mailing list that this was an outdated
driver.
but it compiled and installed on my fedora core 6 as rt2500 and it
gave the network node with that module. So it having the rt2750
instead of rt2500 sounds different than the rt2x00 project.
