Hi Victor,

Yes, you are correct - it's not an SL6 issue specifically as the RT2860 
drivers aren't included in the SL6 (and RHEL6) kernel.

Elrepo.org have previously provided these drivers for SL5 but finding 
testers for them was notoriously difficult so we simply haven't ported 
them over to SL6 yet. Now we have a potential tester in you, we 
(elrepo.org) would be glad to knock up a package for you to test. Would 
that be OK with you?

Regards,

Phil
