rt73 wn321g+ wireless usb adapter problem. Please help me
Dear firends. I have a TP-Link TL-WN321G+ wireless internet USB adapter. It works fine under w32. I search forums and find it use rt73 chipset. I installed http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz driver:rt73-cvs-2008020510. It can be loaded by kernel.
My system is slackware 12 and use 2.6.24 kernel with network->wireless support compiled. Please help me.
This is the message from dmesg

This is the out put of /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
