I have a nice new Acer Laptop. Please don't flame, it was a great deal. I'm dual-booting the machine, Windows for a few online games, Linux (Kubuntu 6.10 64-bit) for everything else. I have a working USB Wireless Adapter based on the rt73 (RaLink) chip. While testing some other distro possibilities, I have had this rt73 adapter working using ndiswrapper and 32-bit Linux. For those who may not know, Kubuntu 6.10 Etch is a KDE desktop, has a modular kernel version 2.6.17 and is Debian based.
I know you probably don't use OpenBSD, but I thought it might be of interest. Since OpenBSD does have this driver, and it probably wouldn't be hard to port to linux instead of uisng ndiswrapper (which is a very bad hack). Also note: Driver for RT2571 (also known as RT73) based USB wireless network cards from: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdr.php?id=225.
