Bus 008 Device 005: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys WUSB54GC 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73]
Works for me (man I hate it when people say that
)
Linksys does have a few different revisions for this device. The first step is to make sure it is actually recognized
and the kernel module is loaded. As seen above, my device uses the ralink rt73 module.
I've pulled my hair out setting up inet1.conf, and have edited rc.wireless{.conf} in the past. Most of the time it worked. The simple way is to just use wicd, and be done with it. I only use my wireless stick to do remote trouble shooting for my nearby neighbors. It's easier to ssh/vnc/RDP over wireless to their local networks, than it is to go through an internet gateway. Depending on how far away they are, I always get faster response compared to the average 512-1MB/s upload internet speeds 'round here
With one of my neighbor's routers, I do have an issue getting this device to authenticate with WPA2, it's a Belkin router. The other routers, offer a mixture of WEP and WPA{2}, there's only issues with the Belkin.
