As the owner of several (10 by the university and 2 personal) rt73 usb wireless cards, I would really like it if the latest version 2.1.5 made into 2.6.26.  As someone who has used 2.6.24 and finished compiling 2.6.25 two days ago I find that the driver in both kernels is not good.  Not good means I get a wireless signal and I get data transfers, but the speed fluctuates and have other issues.  However with each release, the problems I have are slowing decreasing.  I have been waiting patiently for 2.6.25-rc1 to have 2.1.5 since 2.1.5 was announced.  I really think all of 2.1.5 should get in 2.6.25-rc1.

Have you tried forcing the rate to 54Mbit instead of letting the rate selection algorithm doing its work?
It seems to have helped with several other users.
