You seem to be lacking the rt73.bin firmware file. Distributions usually ship them or make them available in a package. But the device may also be wrongly defined and... > [ 3059.709337] usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2500usb could well be a rt2500usb. Although from the lsusb output, this does really look like a rt73usb chipset: Bus 005 Device 004: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB p.s. if your distro cannot or will not ship this firmware, you can get the file from Ralink's website and place it where all the other firmware files are located on your distro (for Fedora is /lib/firmware): http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/RT71W_Firmware_V1.8.zip Luis Correia rt2x00 project admin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
