I have install 9.04 and followed instructions to get 2.6.28-34-fitpc2 kernel.

I am trying to have fitpc automatically connect to a wireless ap-point on boot using a script (this works fine on other machines), except that the problem is the driver seems to not properly load on boot.
ifconfig gives a HWaddr of 00:00:00:00:00:00

The odd thing is that if I do
sudo ifconfig ra0 down
sudo ifconfig ra0 up

it's brought back up with a working HWaddr and I am able to run the script and connect to the network without any problems.

I've even tried putting rt2860sta in the /etc/modules and populated the /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat file (this oddly enough was empty after the re-install...)

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thank you

Ubuntu 9.10 is not fits your needs for some reason?

I don't have a preference. I tried 9.10 first but had same problems and eventually installed 9.4 since I had the same setup working before on another fit-pc machine

linux-image-2.6.31-34-fitpc2 for Ubuntu 9.10 was updated about week ago. Update included support for Ralink 3070 wireless card, please try 9.10 again.

I'll give it a shot next time. Eventually fixed it... I moved the boot script to a later sequence, apparently doing it too early was causing problems. It's working fine now.

Thanks
