Hi,
I am trying to make usb wifi dongle (ralink rt73) work. I have enabled the
support for rt73 in kernel Image(Linux-2.6.29).
At boot time I can see the log kernel which detects USB wifi.
Here are boot log messages:
Disabling unused clock "modem_fck"
Disabling unused clock "clkout2_src_ck"
Disabling unused clock "dpll4_m6x2_ck"
Disabling unused clock "dpll4_m5x2_ck"
Disabling unused clock "dpll3_m3x2_ck"

after assigning the essid by following command
iwconfig wlan0 essid my_network
when I am trying to assign an IP address by command line I get struct with
this error:
# ifconfig wlan0 up
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file 'rt73.bin'.
rt73usb 1-1:1.0: firmware: requesting rt73.bin

phy0 -> rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for
