So this goes in English and adapted, sort of a HOWTO:
1) Install:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
2)Download:
sudo wget http://rt2×00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
3) Unpack the previous tar.gz ("home" would be perfect)
3) Change to the following directory:
cd /rt73-cvs-yyyymmddhh/Module (based on where you unpacked it)
4) Make:
sudo make
Just ignore the message:
!!! WARNING: Module file much too big (>1MB)
!!! Check your kernel settings or use ’strip’
5) sudo strip -S rt73.ko
6) sudo make install
7) Get rid off network manager:
sudo aptitude purge network-manager
8) May or may not be necessary, to ease things??????
sudo apt-get install rutilt
9) Turn off the wlan0 for a while:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
10) Remove the following troublemakers:
sudo modprobe -r rt73usb
sudo modprobe -r rt2570
sudo modprobe -r rt2500usb
sudo modprobe -r rt2×00lib
11) Blacklist the above, this is a must, as pointed out by some of you, open an editor:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
12) Add to the end of the file:
# Blacklist rt73usb, as it is a non-functional beta module which conflicts with the working rt73 module.
blacklist rt73usb
# Blacklist rt2570, as it causes conflicts with rt73
blacklist rt2570
# Other modules that break rt73
blacklist rt2500usb
blacklist rt2×00lib
13) Load the module:
sudo modprobe -v rt73
14) Now you can play with RutilIT, click on menu: Applications/Internet/RutilIT...
or
15) Even better open interfaces:
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
16)Add the following lines (for auto DHCP) according to your personal set-ups, but make sure to block (mask using #) all other references to eth0 or similar, if not this WON'T work:
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid YOUR_SSID
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=YOUR_PASS_KEY_IN_HEXADEC
Or (for manual DHCP)
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2 (or what ever yours is)
netmask 255.255.255.0 (or what .....)
gateway 192.168.1.1 (or what .....)
pre-up ifconfig wlan0 up
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid YOUR_SSID
pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
pre-up iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK=YOUR_PASS_KEY_IN_HEXADEC
17) Save the file,
18) Reboot and you should be connected

FINALLY... this applies to RT73 based dongles or similar (my case: TP-LINK TL_WN321g)
Thanks to all of you, after months of trial and error, and so many pages read:
