Bug Description
When plugged, the adapter does not work (NM does not found any LAN for example) on gutsy, kernel 2.6.22-11
dmesg result after plugging:

lsusb result for this adapter (there is no other wifi adapter plugged):

A workaround to make the adapter work is to unload the rt2500usb and the rt73usb modules, then just reload the rt73usb module. Then, dmesg result:

At this time, NM find wifi network can connect to these networks and it works...

Hi,
I founded the trouble : rt2500usb should NOT be loaded at the same time that rt73usb : the two drivers are different.
How to fix it :
$ cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/
$ sudo mv rt2500usb.ko rt2500usb.ko_bak
$ sudo depmod -a
Then unplug your device,
remove all remaining rt* module : $ sudo rmmod rt73usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib rt2500usb
Plug your device.
It should work.
In fact, there are bad vid:pid identifiers in rt2500, that should only be in one module. I put bellow the list of duplicate identifiers :
v148Fp2573
v050Dp705Ad
v050Dp7050d
Mine is v148Fp2573 and should only be rt73usb.

Hi,
I'm having the same problems with my usb adapter. It's a LogiLink WL0025. After blacklisting rt2500usb and rt2x00usb the stick is able to connect to a WPA-PSK-Network by using the roaming mode and the proper key. Unfortunately the connection isn't very stable. It's possible to send ping requests to another network device but if I try to open a website in firefox (e.g. google.com) the page won't be loaded correctly. The connection fails during the webserver is transmitting the site.
I hope I can help you to solve that problem.
Info: NetworkManager is in use.

what about the rt73 driver? the serialmonkey rt73 driver with wpa
completely locks up the system?
Id2ndR (id2ndr) wrote : | #8 |
I downloaded rt73-CVS. It need linux-headers and then $ make && sudo make install
I blacklisted rt2x00, rt2500usb, rt73usb. So rt73 module was loaded. I'm using it since few minutes, without trouble (just a reassociation that worked fine).
I also tried with rt2x00-CVS but I failed to compile it (symbols not resolved).
I don't know which version is use in linux-ubuntu-
Hopelessly, rt2x00 drivers is currently not in linux main tree (there is no rt2x00 folder in drivers/
But this will change, according to http://
So we still need drivers include in linux-ubuntu-
except of the subject : both rt73 and rt73usb support NetworkManager, great :).
Id2ndR (id2ndr) wrote : | #9 |
Sorry I was wrong with last message. I just forgot to unload rt2500usb and rt73usb modules, so I was still using them.
So these modules work for me, until I got errors as described in rt2x00 forum. Time before getting these error is variable (from 5 minutes to 3 hours). Once these occurred, I can't use wifi anymore, and there also are troubles to restart the computer (NetworkManger seems to wait a response from the driver).
So I'm know using rt73, and it don't work with NetworkManager. I used rutil to configure wifi. I haven't encountered trouble yet but if I got one, I'll describe it here.
linux-ubuntu-
So it would be great if the driver was update to latest cvs version.

rt2x00 module couldn't be compile with linux version include in Gutsy. Explanation are at http://
Maybe there is a patch that correct error "phy0 -> rt2x00usb_
If we know it, we may be able to patch sources of linux-ubuntu-module and get a working version of rt2x00.

According to post of Tue Oct 09, there was a patch that correct the error of "register busy". (The patch may have be done between 09/25 and 10/09).

Some problem here with a linksys rt2500usb.
I'm now succesfully running with the feisty kernel (2.6.20) as the rt2570 module in Feisty does work with my chipset.

ALEX,I can confirm this issue too with my belkin f5d7050-4 ver 3002, its a
rt73 device, it seems this bug has been plaguing ubuntu since pre-feisty
because they have two different drivers with the same usb id in it which is
causing a conflict, it looks whoever is in charge of the drivers is too lazy
to remove/fix this, try serialmonkey drivers, they got it right

hey tim, i installed that and removed rt73usb from blacklist and blacklisted my custom rt73 driver from serialmonkey and it completely locked up my system when I attempted a connection, and it named wlan0 rausb0, on a side note you may be getting somewhere because it didnt look like there was 2 drivers loaded, and I didnt see a wlan0 and wmaster0 so keep up the good work, unfortunately my system was too unstable and froze to grab any logs.. any ideas?

ok just a note, rt73 scans but has a wmaster0 wifi connection that I believe is interfering... I am able to scan but not connect with the standard drivers, my configuration is fine and there seems to be a conflict somewhere, dhcp and static configs dont work... I believe there is an issue with the usb id or something...

Hi Tim,
I installed your deb and my belkin usb adapter now works. It is a 050d:7050 Belkin Components F5D7050 ver 1000 WiFi. Thanks! Just 2 things:
- the interface was renamed rausb0 (was wlan0 before)
- I had to manually configure it

Unfortunately the id 148f:2573 has been used in devices with two different chipsets which may require the rt2570(usb) or rt73(usb) driver. There is no way for the module auto-loading mechanism to distinguish them.

Hi guys,
Thanx for a really sweet distro, I'm really enjoying Gutsy. My only real big pain is this damn Ralink driver problem.
I've tried compiling stuff from the serialmonkeys to ralinks STA drivers. I even tried the deb above. The drivers register and the card gets detected but no matter what i do I cant get a connection. Funny enough, if I blacklist all the drivers except 2x00lib, 2x00usb and rt73usb, network manager kicks in and I connect no problem, but its so flippen flaky, at any time the connection gets dropped, especially if I go into gmail or facebook, funny enough. Then I actually have to remove the usb, and insert into another port. The longest I had the connection working for was about 3 hrs. But it just dies suddenly, time and time again. I'm using a usb adapter with the same device id 148f:2573 Ralink.....
When is this puppy getting fixed? I can imagine its quite urgent, considering the load of rt2573 devices there are out there all using the Ralink rt73 148f:2573 device and chipset. Please hurry, asking very nicely pls

Hi! After the trouble described here, I managed to get the rt73 working in Gutsy. The solution was to install vanilla kernel 2.6.24-rc1 and the compile the rt2x00 driver from serialmonkey. It was not an easy task but wifi is working perfectly now... :)

I was using no encryption but I enable WPA-PSK just to test it and yes, it works perfectly so far, excelent speed, and perfect integration with NetworkManager. I haven't test it so much but it seems to have no problems at all. Is there any plans to fix this for Gutsy or we'll have to wait till Hardon?
Thanks again.

I didn't have any luck with the .deb above neither. It installed fine, the RT73 driver was loaded, but i couldn't connect to my WPA-secured network. The rt73usb driver found in the official .deb worked better for me.
I still hope this problem gets fixed soon.

i think theres a fix planned for december, but I just cant wait that long, I have a business riding on this crap, so i have to either go back to windows, use a different wireless adapter, or use a cat5 for now. I tried the windows option and the drivers in windows are no better, doesnt allow a connection! RALINK IS CRAP!!!
I'm now going to hard wire my modem until I can get a chance to find out which adapter will work under ubuntu. Anyone got any suggestions, obviously nothing with a Ralink shitty, crap ass driver in it. And I'm just not into redoing my whole machine at this point in time. Any other comments or suggestions?

Having similar issues with rt73usb on Ubuntu 7.10, connection seems to last sometimes as long as 24 hours, till any heavy downloading occurs then cuts out and won't reconnect unless you shutdown and boot up again, pressing Restart doesn't fix it either. Only a clean shutdown.

Hi, same strange problems here too with default module from gutsy : link can break between 5 minutes to 24 hours later... I made a quick script that test ping and rmmods and re insmod when ping fails. This works half the times and reconnects correctly (with dhclient, and ifconfig to set up the adapter).
But half the time it doesn't make the trick : rmmod and insmod do not seem to be able to bring a correct interface. And often, a simple rmmod will freeze the entire computer.
Unplugging the adapter (which is a USB wifi dongle) and replugging it will change the effect... so if I'm stuck with rmmod and insmod beiing useless but not freezing the computer, usualy unsticking and replugging the USB wifi dongle will give me chance to ... repair the connection or to freeze the computer.
Finally, when I manage to get a connection for some period, it's quality is real bad : very very slow, pings grows up very quickly up to 2 seconds with one or two
I do not know if this helps a lot. But I've tried Tim Gardner package (which is in comment number 16), and this is WORSE : ifconfig seems stuck in a endless loop : it slows the computer down and do not manage to get past the mounting of the device (ifconfig up), this is really bad as this is set at boot time.
So I'm heading towards 2.6.24/rt2x00 recompilation...

I have the same problem as Sionide (with the same output with lsusb). and anything that involves compiling or kernels is beyond my capabilities.
if anyone has any sort of idiot-proof solution i'd really appreciate it.

All you need to do is compile the rt73 serial monkey drivers and it starts
working.
Here is the HOWTO I followed:
http://
After following the howto, it would still drop my connection at random
times, but at least I didn't have to reboot.
Also, by using the howto, it for some reason rendered the wicd utility
useless. I had to do things by commandline. But the good news is, I tried
using the serialmonkey rutilt (instead of wicd), and now everything works
great. No more commandline stuff and no more dropped connections.
Following the above-mentioned howto doesn't require you to do anything with
your kernel (like recompile). All you need to do is have the kernel source
on your machine.

gdw2 (gdwarner) wrote : | #48 |
I'm not completely sure. You never really uninstall the drivers that aren't
working, you just comment them out in the blacklist file. So I think that
after you install the new driver, you could switch back by just changing
which drivers you have commented out in your blacklist file.

I compiled Linux 2.6.24 - then i could connect via WICD (unencrypted and WEP, WPA/2 not tested) but the connection was lost after some minutes/seconds.
Then I compiled the latest cvs version rt2x00 (not the legacy drivers!) and now I can everything with WICD (also WEP and WPA/2), no lost connection.
But I'm having trouble with aircrack... Hm.

yes, I can confirm the rt73usb.ko driver does not work for "ANY RELEASE"
never did, although the rt73 driver from here:

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://
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://
tar zxvf rt73-cvs-
cd rt73*
cd M*
make
sudo make install
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.
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.
/etc/network/

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for the quick run through on installing the serialmonkey driver however, I get the following error when I run the make command;

Not too sure what it means or where I should report it if it's a mistake in the code...?

funny thing, though, adaptor works out of the box on livecd (kubuntu 7.10), but needs this trick to be properly functional on a hard drive installation. i thought it deserved to be mentioned.

I really don't think this is a duplicate!
You can't simply put all ralink-problems under one bug in my opinion. This just makes everything messy and it gets more difficult to find the actual problems.
rt61pci problems are way different to the rt73usb-problems! For example I (as a rt61-card-owner) don't experience any problems with the rt200x rt61pci-driver.
This bug is about one specific problem where both rt2500usb and rt73usb get loaded. After doing a diff of modinfo-ouput I found out that the following usb-ids could be affected:
alias: usb:v148Fp2573d
alias: usb:v050Dp705Ad
alias: usb:v050Dp7050d
PS: dylan, run echo 'blacklist rt2500usb'|sudo tee /etc/modprobe.
