Automatically detected and set up as ath0. Was unable to detect the ESSID of a BT Home Hub but was able to connect and gain an IP via DHCP when details entered manually using System > Networking menu in Edgy. Booting with the card installed starts automatically. Card was added to an already installed system. |

Almost works out of the box on Gusty (7.10) with WPA and WEP - but keeps dropping connection. Only DHCP working so far. Works with WEP with rt73 driver from serialmonkey following this guide. |
