problems with rt73 driver installation on ubuntu 7.04

arielsegal · 08-06-2007, 05:25 AM

Thanx for the advice from this forum. I still got a problem installing rt73 driver for my usb wifi stick on my PC that is running ubuntu 7.04 .
I have followed the in struction found at the "HOWTO: RT73 (RT71) serialmonkey drivers" on link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236
It seems that the system detected the old configs.
I got this message: Update your config and remove /etc/Wireless/RT73STA
How shoul I update the config?
What should I remove? is it the folder RT73STA?
Here are the results:
