The README_STA file says:
RT2860 driver can be configured via following interfaces, i.e.
(i)"iwconfig" command, (ii)"iwpriv" command, (iii) configuration file
The module works for me without RT2860STA.dat in /etc. I guess
wpa_supplicant/network-manager/whoever deals with the driver via the
wlan kernel interface sufficiently good.
Any extra features should be available by using iwpriv, no?
And if you ask me, having a kernel module depend on a file in /etc
seems terribly broken.
Anyway, if you really feel like you need that file,
/usr/share/doc/rt2860-source/README_STA.gz has instructions where to
put it and what it could contain.
