[ts-7000] rt73usb and linux 2.6.32.3

[Peter Gammie <>]

Hello,

I've been trying to get the rt73usb (one of the rt2x00 drivers) working for a 
no-name USB WiFi dongle. The dongle works under Windows using ralink's drivers, 
and with the rt2x00 rt73usb driver under x86 Debian with a 2.6.32-trunk-686 
kernel. (Not sure what that is, but it is stock Debian.)

On a ts7250 it fails in a mystifying manner:

# modprobe rt73usb

Has anyone had any success with the in-kernel rt2x000 drivers, and if so, which 
kernel?

I'm using 2.6.32.3 as it is the last version that Matthieu has provided patches 
for, and I hoped to coax some kind of low latency/real-time behaviour out of it.

Any help much appreciated.

cheers
peter
