thanks

Hi.

I don't want to switch to serialmonkey sources because... there is
such package already! It is called rt2x00, see:
http://packages.debian.org/rt2x00 You can find there the really new
rt73usb driver which is probably not stable and has less features than
official one.

The serialmonkey provides also the legacy driver (rt73-csv) which is
based on previous 1.0.3.6 version. It should be more stable and
probably could be potential replacement for original rt73 driver.

I see only one problem with rt73 driver - it doesn't work with
iwconfig and have to be configured with iwpriv command only. I'll test
the serialmonkey's driver but I don't want to switch to this upstream,
so I'm marking this report as "wontfix" (yet).
