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.

Looses connection now and then. Removing and reloading the module fixes it. Maybe caused by multiple CPUs.

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