Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17

The driver doesn't really work - at the beginning it can scan for networks, but after a few scans it stops.
It's impossible to manually assign network.
rt73 drivers from ralink's site work (kind of) well on dapper (didn't test on edgy tho).

I have tried the rt73 usb driver with a DLINK dwl-g122 USB dongle with the supported chipset. I reported some partial success recently here:

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
