Hi Eve,
I don't know about SL 5.3. But in SL 5.4 we started putting in firmware
for the rt73 usb.
Starting with the 2.6.18-164 kernels we have the rt73usb driver, version
2.1.4. But you *do* need to have the firmware installed.
I would test it on a plain SL 5.4 machine, making sure you have the
rt73usb-firmware package installed
yum install rt73usb-firmware
It might just work out of the box if you do that.

We have a wireless USB device that we have been trying to get working on
a linux box with a 32-bit SL5.3 OS.
The device is an ASUS WL-167g USB 2.0.
We have tried both the driver on the CD that came with the device, and a
more recent version available on the ASUS website. In each case, the
driver compiles and loads without errors (the kernel module is rt73),
but when we try to bring up the wireless adapter, the system complains
that the device cannot be found.
Has anyone tried this device and got it to work successfully on linux?
Can anyone recommend a wireless USB that DOES work easily out of the box
for SL5.3?
Thanks,
Eve

It's an ASUS WL-167g USB 2.0.
The usb, box, discs, and documentation are all in the computer room, if you
need anything more.

Hi,
Please send me the info on the usb that doesn't work (ie make, model)
so that I can query the sci-linux usesr list.
Thanks
