Fedora Core 8 RT73 Wireless USB Tutorial:

yum install kernel kernel-devel gcc make

D-Link : DSL-G604T
USB Wireless Network : TL-WN321G USB

Firstly, you need download the official driver from here: RT2501USB(RT73:RT2571W/RT2573/RT2671)

# cp RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0.tar.gz /tmp/
# cd /tmp/
# tar zxvf RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0.tar.gz
# cd /tmp/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0/Module/
# cp Makefile.6 ./Makefile

# make all ( officially asks to use make all, but what I think, it's better to use make && make install)
(Your Option # make && make install)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once u used make install, u would see following output

[root@localhost Module]# make install

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.23.9-85.fc8/build \
INSTALL_MOD_DIR=extra SUBDIRS=/tmp/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.4.0/Module \

append 'alias rausb0 rt73' to /etc/modprobe.conf

----------------------------------------------------------

[root@localhost Module]# ifconfig rausb0 10.1.1.20 up
[root@localhost Module]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

rausb0 RT73 WLAN ESSID:off/any
Mode:Auto Channel=1 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off

-----------------------------------------------------------


unfortunately, iwconfig rausb0 scan failed. i dont known why, but it works at background.
[root@localhost Module]# iwlist rausb0 scan
rausb0 Interface doesn't support scanning.


----------------------------------------------------------

iwconfig to check if your Wireless card has been recognized or not

[root@localhost Module]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

rausb0 RT73 WLAN ESSID:"Your_Wireless Name"
Mode:Managed Channel=6 Access Point: 00:1B:11:15:01:73
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

if Encryption key:off , u need to use this to make the wireless connect to the Router

iwconfig rausb0 key s:Your_password

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Put these unacceptable modules to blacklist
#vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist


blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt73usb

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-rausb0

DEVICE=rausb0
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=Your MAC Address
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
PEERDNS=no



## Confirm your AP supports dhcp or connects up the ethernet
## before set-up as a dynamic IP
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp

NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=

DOMAIN=
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=Your Wirless Name

---------------------------------------------------------------------


#vi /etc/sysconfig/network



NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NOZEROCONF=yes (ensure you have this)
----------------------------------------------------------------------



also u can use

ifup or ifdown to switch on or off the network.



----------------------------------------------------------------------

it should work then
