Comment: WL-167G (0b05:1706 and 07) have well documented problems working with encryption enabled. It wouldn't be reasonable to say these actually work out of the box.

Card works fine in Breezy with no special setup. Is not detected at install, but if you go to network settings and put ra0 where it says lo it will be detected. Probably have to manually put in the ssid. Broken in Feisty. Works in Gusty. |

WL-167G V2 |
RT2500 |

Yes |
Yes |
Tested in 7.10. Gives errors in dmesg but once I clicked on the nm-applet and selected Manual Configuration, I was able to put in my SSID, etc. I also had to enter DNS info manually. Then I just had to run ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0 and I was online. Worked for me with a Linksys router running DD-WRT and WPA-TKIP. |

Detected and loaded OK. Detects networks, however cannot establish encrypted connection under 9.10 with WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Well documented issues out of the box. |

Using 8.04 works fine out of the box! If you have any issue (e.g. slow connection) try to install linux-backports-modules-hardy (For older version of Ubuntu you must instal GPL RT73 driver. Follow the instructions at the bottom of this guide WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT73). |
