Bug#434341: rt73-source: Newer source available

Package: rt73-source
Version: 1.0.4.0.dfsg1-1~experimental1
Severity: normal

I've been messing with this for about a week. I have a usb based
wireless device that uses the rt73 driver. I haven't been able to get
any connections working with this... However, I was hunting around the
internet and I came across this.

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads

I assume you've heard of the site before, but they've been updating the
driver in their cvs, and they have a cvs-daily tarball. I downloaded
that, maked it, and instaled the ko, and I was immedietly able to get a
ip. With no other config changes.

I tend to think you might want to switch to using that source instead of
ralink's source.

Thanks for the work with this package though.

Hi,

I can only second that, as I lost several hours try to get this driver
to work (DHCP requests weren't sent), while the one from serialmonkey
worked perfectly as soon as I switched to it.
