Another hint that the device is not rt73. > phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x3000 with error -32 > phy0 -> rt2x00_set_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 1300, rf: 0000, rev: c03c0ae0 - A incorrect RF chipset. (valid values are: 1, 2, 3 or 4). Another indication of a incorrect device. - A completely bogus chipset revision. A valid rt73 device has the revision "2573X" Where only the X is a variable. > phy0 -> rt73usb_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RF chipset detected > > ...so, I think hardware is indeed quite similar to what rt73usb driver > expects...? No. You can assume you are forcing rt73 to control a non-rt73 device. The fact that you had to hack to bypass the RT and RF chipset validation also confirms that, those checks were there for a reason. Namely to make sure the corect driver was being used for the device.
