I'm observing some strange behavior with my rt73 in combination with an Cisco AP (it works fine with other AP including linksys WRT54GL). I am able to associate, but when I send data (e.g. ARP message before a ping), I don't observe it on the Wi-fi network when sniffing with AirPcap. I see, however, that the ARP packet is sent to the Wi-Fi stick using an usb-analyzer.
Linux reports that messages are received and sent (looking at Rx and Tx in ifconfig). I can see regular probe request/responses in the sniffer so the wi-fi card is not completly dead.
There is no security enabled on the AP (not able to connect when security is enabled - I suspect this is related to the same problem).
If I instead use the legacy driver, it works just fine.
Any ideas on what is happening here?
