Here you can find the following files for Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS:
If you want to build a module package for your locally installed kernel follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/ralink-rt73-source_1.0.3.6_all.deb
cd /tmp mkdir module m-a -l $(uname -r) -t -u module build ralink-rt73
sudo dpkg -i /path/to/ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6_all.deb sudo dpkg -i /tmp/module/ralink-rt73-$(uname -r)_1.0.3.6+<KERNEL-PACKAGE-RELEASE>_i386.debwhere KERNEL-PACKAGE-RELEASE is the actual Dapper kernel version name (eg 2.6.15-27.48). Just have a look into /tmp/module to get the name of the deb package you have just built.
/tmp/module
if no longer needed.
In case you intend to build the module for another than your installed
kernel replace the $(uname -r)
snippets above with the
desired kernel version (e.g. 2.6.15-27-k7).
If you now plug your WUSB54GC in, you will get
a rausb0
device which you may configure
with iwconfig
and ifconfig
.
Please note that you dont need any alias
entries
in /etc/modprobe.conf
with this package, automatic module
loading is provided through the udev
script /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ralink-rt73.rules
contained in
ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6_all.deb.
If you are interested in rebuilding the module source package get
and extract it with
dpkg-source -x ralink-rt73_1.0.3.6.dsc
You can then examine its contents in the
subdirectory ralink-rt73-1.0.3.6
. It contains the upstream
source, two patches (one adds the device ID of the LinkSys WUSB24GC, the
other makes the Makefiles usable for m-a
) and the Debian specific
build stuff.
Rebuilding can be done via
debuild
in the ralink-rt73-1.0.3.6
directory, provided you have
installed the debuild
package and co
(e.g. fakeroot
).
This may be necessary if a new
upstream version of the driver becomes available, the only thing to do
is then to download it into the upstream
directory and
change the variable UPSTREAM
in debian/rules
to the new upstream package name.
This is a Debian style repackaging of the OpenSource RT73 driver available

The Debian specific stuff follows ideas stolen from
the rt2500
