Any 32-bit linux drivers for the rt73 ?

[mtbuller]

Had downloaded the drivers for a USB wireless adapter that uses the RT73 chipset from http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm and was having some problems.

Immediately after building the driver, internet connection is okay. But upon reboot the next day, the internet connection is unable to connect.

The command "iwconfig" reports

rausb0 RT73 WLAN ESSID:"myessid"
Mode:Managed Channel=10 Access Point: 00:C0:00:C0:F0:C0
Bit Rate=36 Mb/s

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Found out from some other forums that the driver RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.0.tar.gz is actually for 64bit linux.

Any idea where I can get hold of drivers (for 32bit linux) for RT73.

Many thanks in advance for the advice.

Re: Any 32-bit linux drivers for the rt73 ?

I am using the same rt73 on my desktop, (32 bit) and after rebooting I have to go into the RT directory then into Modules and type sudo insmod rt73.ko and it works until I reboot. I am a fairly newbie so I do not know how to get it to start when booting. Hope this helps you
