Ralink provides GNU General Public License-licensed (GPL) drivers for the Linux kernel. While Linux drivers for the older RT2500 chipsets are no longer updated by Ralink, these are now being maintained by Serialmonkey's rt2x00 project. Current Ralink chipsets require a firmware to be loaded. Ralink allows the use and redistribution of the firmwares, but does not allow their modification. In February 2011 Greg Kroah-Hartman praised Ralink for their change in attitude towards the Linux kernel developer community: “ As you can see in these posts, Ralink is sending patches for the upstream rt2x00 driver for their new chipsets, and not just dumping a huge, stand-alone tarball driver on the community, as they have done in the past. This shows a huge willingness to learn how to deal with the kernel community, and they should be strongly encouraged and praised for this major change in attitude. ” — Greg Kroah-Hartman on 2011-02-09, here as the hardware drivers are supplied by the distribution, not the desktop manager (KDE), that is the best place to ask ps - you can dl and test the drivers with a livecd OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x
