 If you have a Ralink chip in an USB device and that chip is a RT2570 or RT73 (RT73 is also as RT2571 and RT2573), you need the "rt2570" or "rt73" driver.  "rt2500" driver is only for PCI/PCMCIA devices.

 Version 3.0.2 of the driver shouldn't have this bug anymore.
 ==== 2.6.27 kernel support ====
-These links have instructions for supporting the 2.6.27 kernel:
+Version 3.0.2 does support 2.6.27 out of the box without any modifications needed.
+If you want to use an earlier version with 2.6.27, here are the patching instructions:

+==== 2.6.31 kernel and above gives rt73.ko failed to build ====
+Compiling on 26.31 and above kernels gives an error message "rt73.ko failed to build!".  This [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=1824.msg33360#msg33360|thread]] provides a workaround.  Hopefully a corrected version of the driver will be released shortly.
