Comment 46 for bug 139070

All you need to do is compile the rt73 serial monkey drivers and it starts
working.

Here is the HOWTO I followed:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236.

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.
