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.

No I haven't tried that.  However I have 54Mbit (g) at home, but only 11Mbit (b only) at work.  I guess I would have to change the rate when I change locations.

Thanks,
