yes, I can confirm the rt73usb.ko driver does not work for "ANY RELEASE" never did, although the rt73 driver from here: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz works fine. Wpa works great as well, unfortunately any wpa password longer than 20 characters crashes Ubuntu and locks up the box, oops, nevermind, just checked this forum thread: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=28063#28063 it seems the password length issue has been resolved for wpa with the rt73 driver from serialmonkey, basically here is how to install: wget http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz tar zxvf rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz cd rt73* cd M* make sudo make install sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist append this to the end of the file: # rt73 blacklisted drivers blacklist rt2500usb blacklist rt73usb blacklist rt2x00usb blacklist rt2x00lib blacklist ipv6 now sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and we shall be connected if /etc/network/interfaces file is configured correctly, here is an example of mine: # WORKING STATIC AES/WPA CONFIG #auto wlan0 #iface wlan0 inet static #address 192.168.1.66 #netmask 255.255.255.0 #gateway 192.168.1.254 #pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up #pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE #pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed #pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set Channel=9 #pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK #pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=AES #pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=yourwpapasswd #pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set TxRate=0
