RT drivers are opensource (yay!) so identified the hardware Id for the product it was (13b1:003b) comes with rt3573 chipset (I confirm that).

It is quite a different beast then the other chips that are supported ( for one it is the first 3T3R chip that we see from Ralink, and the EEPROM layout is quite different). So, you have to stick with the driver of the Ralink website, until we are able to add support for the chip in rt2800usb. Although I do own a device with that chip, my time is unfortunately very limited right now, so my progress is very slow. --- Gertjan-- 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
