No. You can assume you are forcing rt73 to control a non-rt73 device. The fact that you had to hack to bypass the RT and RF chipset validation also confirms that, those checks were there for a reason. Namely to make sure the corect driver was being used for the device.

Both removals of -ENODEV are completely wrong. If the device does not pass the
above
2 checks it is _not_ a rt73usb device. And forcing the driver to work with the
device will
result in all kinds of problems.
If rt2x00 is loaded and detected the device, it should print out a debug

I did this on 2.6.23-rc8-mm1 kernel (The RT hack may not be
neccessary), but then it oopses somewhere in softmac layer. I'll try
to play with it some more.
If you have any ideas, let me know.

Both removals of -ENODEV are completely wrong. If the device does not pass the
above
2 checks it is _not_ a rt73usb device. And forcing the driver to work with the
device will
result in all kinds of problems.
If rt2x00 is loaded and detected the device, it should print out a debug
message that starts with:
Chipset detected - What is in your case the complete line?
