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
# WORKING DYNAMIC AES/WPA CONFIG
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set Channel=10
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=yourwpapasswd
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set TxRate=0
mtu 1500
There we go rt73 working perfectly, now, lets watch and see if the Ubuntu developers can add this wonderful driver to Gutsy and Heron...
