Hi Eric,

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.
