The latest kernel update on Feodra 8 to 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 has caused some issues with this adapter. It still gets recognized when you plug it in but bringing the adapter up using "ifconfig wlan0 up" freezes the whole OS completely with no possibility of recovery.
I've reverted back to 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 and I guess I'll manually remove the new kernel as to keep receiving the updated ones to test them without 2.6.23 getting automatically erased.
lsmod for the new kernel is slightly different:
arc4 5825 2
ecb 6593 2
blkcipher 9285 1 ecb
rt73usb 28097 0
rt2x00usb 13121 1 rt73usb
rt2x00lib 30913 2 rt73usb,rt2x00usb
crc_itu_t 5953 1 rt2x00lib
rfkill 9301 1 rt2x00lib
crc_ccitt 5953 1 rt2x00lib
input_polldev 7241 1 rt2x00lib
mac80211 161065 3 rt73usb,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
cfg80211 23113 2 rt2x00lib,mac80211

I wanted to get another wifi adaper because I couldn't get WPA working with the integrated Realtek in my laptop (rtl8187b). Found this one in PCWorld using trial and error. The sales guy let me try all the USB adapters they had on my laptop, they had no ExpressCards on their shelf yet. Tried a D-Link, Linksys, Netgear and two other Belkin ones; one of which worked but didn't have WPA encryption capabilities.
As soon as you plug it in the modules are loaded, you don't see it in the network config GUI but "ifconfig -a" reveals that a new wireless adapter is present. All that's left to do is use wpa_supplicant then dhclient to get an IP address and you're off.
It's in a blue and white box (in Europe anyways).
I've since also tried it on Ubuntu 7.10 but it wasn't detected, I didn't get a chance to troubleshoot.
Here's the part of my lsmod relating to the adapter on Fedora 8:
arc4 5953 2
ecb 6721 2
blkcipher 9029 1 ecb
rt73usb 27201 0
rt2x00usb 12737 1 rt73usb
rt2x00lib 20929 2 rt73usb,rt2x00usb
rfkill 9297 1 rt2x00lib
input_polldev 7369 1 rt2x00lib
crc_itu_t 6081 1 rt2x00lib
mac80211 115789 2 rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
cfg80211 10953 1 mac80211
