Comment 8 for bug 139070

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-modules.

Hopelessly, rt2x00 drivers is currently not in linux main tree (there is no rt2x00 folder in drivers/net/wireless (http://hjemli.net/git/linux/tree/drivers/net/wireless)).
But this will change, according to http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00.h :).
So we still need drivers include in linux-ubuntu-modules for a few time.

except of the subject : both rt73 and rt73usb support NetworkManager, great :).
