Hi Everyone
I have the Edimax EW-7128g which is based on the Ralink RT2500.
On boot the computer halt while trying to configure the eth0.
I can only boot when I type: knoppix nodhcp
iwconfig show the device is configured as eth0, but when i initiate the: "ifconfig eth0 up" as root, the computer halt again.
I can also see the rt2500 module in lsmod.
here is the lspci -v:
