Wifi adapter using rt73 chipset does not work

[Brian Guertin]

I have the WUSB54GC usb adapter which uses the rt73 chipset. The device doesnt work unless I fetch the updated source for the driver and compile it myself. Also, for the working open source driver to work a configuration .dat file must be edited with connection information. Therefore there is no simple roaming available for this device.

The driver you install for yourself is rt2x00 or rt73 legacy?

Why is this under bots? Seems a tad out of place.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

It is :)
