Hi,
had the same problem. My D-Link DWL-G122 USB-stick works with this older version attached. I use Ubuntu Feisty. If you want your stick working with WPA you have to follow the steps from the start:
1. PUT ALL IN RIGHT PLACE
- "lsmod | grep rt"
- blacklist the found rt-driver by inserting "blacklist rt*" in "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist", replace * bei driver-number, like "rt73usb"
- make script "wlan" with following lines:
#!/bin/sh
IFACE=$1
ifconfig $IFACE up
sleep 3
iwconfig $IFACE mode managed
iwpriv $IFACE set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv $IFACE set EncrypType=TKIP
iwconfig $IFACE essid my_essid
iwpriv $IFACE set WPAPSK=my_password
dhclient $IFACE
- and replace "my_essid" and "WPAPSK=my_password" by your own routers settings and save as "wlan"
- copy script "wlan" to /usr/bin: "sudo cp wlan /usr/bin/wlan"
- change permissions "sudo chmod go+x /usr/bin/wlan"
- add line "/usr/bin/wlan wlan0;" in "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh" for autostarting script on boot
- replace "wlan0" if your wlan uses another device, like "rausb0" (in Ubuntu its probably "wlan0")
2. INSTALL KERNEL DRIVERS
- unpack attached driver package
- change to subdirectory "Module"
- type "make" and then "sudo make install" (you need "build-essential" and "kernel-headers" for your kernel for that, "uname -r" shows what kernel you use)
- now your kernel-module "rt73" should be installed
- type "sudo modprobe rt73" to load it
- check if module is there by "lsmod | grep rt"
- now check, if stick works: "sudo iwconfig wlan0 up" (replace by rausb0 if necessary)
- green light should blink now -> everything is in place and works, so reboot, to see if Ubuntu or your system loads everything in right order
- if green light doesn't blink, kernel module doesn't work
- PS: maybe you'll have to deactivate all network devices by "system / network"
- Good Luck

THANK-YOU!!!! THIS WORKED !!!!
The earlier version of the attached driver file worked!
There must be an issue with the newer version of the driver
The version that works is rt73-cvs-2007101214It is attached to an above post
You have resuscitated my USB adapter and it is now blinking and twinkling merrily
Note:Quote:
- blacklist the found rt-driver by inserting "blacklist rt*" in "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist", replace * bei driver-number, like "rt73usb"
I didn't need to add the blacklist drivers as they were already in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
I removed the existing driver first with
Code:
modprobe -r rt73
I installed the new (older) driver with
Code:
cd rt73-cvs-2007101214/Module/
sudo -i
make clean
make
make install
I then restarted the computer and....
EVERYTHING IS WORKING!
Thanks to
everyone for all your help,
When I first saw the lights come on on the adapter, I was ecstatic
cheers!
P.S
Another key thing I think perhaps is that I removed the network-manager app
Code:
sudo apt-get remove network-manager
sudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnome
and installed RutilT.
Code:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install g++-4.1
sudo apt-get install rutilt
I created a new 'profile' in RutilT for the connection and it got it up and running. RutilT manages the connection perfectly.
I hope this helps someone else too
Thanks serialmonkey!
UPDATE: I've attached the tarball again as it appears to have disappeared from the above post
