    Hi, guys,

    I'm in trouble to get to work a wireless USB stick Linksys WUSB54GC with openSUSE 12.1. The stick is working fine on Windows 7 x64 wich I have in dual boot on my machine. The device is listed in Yast, I have configured it, but still no internet connection. The chipset is Ralink RT73 and the driver used by default is rt73usb. So I have googled and searched this forum for some help and this is the output of some commands from the stickies here.

    Code:

    I'm confused by the last line from the hwinfo --wlan command output

    Code:
    Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
    What this means - is the driver working or not? How to get it to work? Should I uninstall it and try to use NDiswrapper, or there is another workaround here. Please help, I'm not too comfortable with command line, so please post here what must I type in console. Thanks in advance
