When i type make i get the error:

bt ~ # cd /root/rt61-cvs-2008032212/Module/
bt Module # make
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt61.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

Yeap. I have the same problem

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt61.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

[Oligarchy]

Yes same over here mate.
Cant think what the trouble might be though.

bt Module # make
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.20-BT-PwnSauce-NOSMP/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.20-BT-PwnSauce-NOSMP/build'
rt61.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

Ok, the error that occurs when trying to compile RT61 from BT3 happens because there aren't any linux kernel sources found under /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build-> /usr/src/whatever

if you do ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build it'll by a system link to /usr/src/something

so you can't compile external drivers for BT3 beta

that being said, you don't need to! RT61 works fine, especially for the wmp54g

i tried compiling it, and then noticed that under iwconfig that 'wlan0' was listed.. i was fine
