Working USB wireless card on Fedora 8 i386 (kernel: 2.6.23.9-85.fc8) by jon207 (3):
(please forgive my english) The module rt73usb have to be loaded manually via the modprobe command. If the rt2500usb module is loaded, it have to be released with "modprobe -r", however it make the wireless not working, even the rt73usb module is loaded.

CWD-854 WIRELESS-G Dongle Looses connection now and then. Removing and reloading the module fixes it. Maybe caused by multiple CPUs. http://www.cnetusa.com/product/specs/wl_CWD-854.htm !http://www.cnetusa.com/images/CWD854d_300w.jpg!

rt73 firmware is missing on powerpack dvd. Available on any "non-free" official and public repo, or through updates.
