Hi,<br>
<br>
Didn't google enough... please try installing the firmware available
from Elrepo for this card:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://elrepo.org/tiki/rt73usb-firmware">http://elrepo.org/tiki/rt73usb-firmware</a><br>
<br>
Once done, if it still doesn't work provide a directory listing of
/lib/firmware and any other error messages you get.<br>
