Public bug reported:
I followed the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_(Ralink_rt73_driver)?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=linkto%3A%22WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050-ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29%22
for installing a Linksys WUSB54GC USB Device 13b1:0020
with the latest driver 2009_0206_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.2
on Kubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2
Release: 8.04
and got as far as:
Step 7 - Install Module
sudo modprobe rt73
Check that your computer knows the device exists.
u...@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig
If rausb0 is present it is time to connect to the internet.
well, iwconfig shows:
rausb0 RT73 WLAN
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:113
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0
and ifconfig rausb0 shows:
rausb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.0.98 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
but, ifconfig rausb0 up gives:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument
whereas ifconfig rausb0 down gives no errors at all.
Since this was the MOST recommended Wireless USB adapter in the Linux world,
I'm a little bit hung-out-to-dry here as I try to help a friend upgrade from
Windows,
to Linux, which required he replace his previous Linux-incompatible WUSB
adapter.
