Woohoo! Finally I could get my ralink card work in Master mode! My previous attempt was about
2 months ago.
It seems to work, but now it's almost 4:00 AM and I haven't had enough time to really test it. But my notebook can see and connect to my desktop-working-as-access-point, and I need to document this victory!
