Linksys makes the WUSB54GC I believe its called, I am using it on my
sisters computer, I havent tested it under gentoo but it is based on
the rt73 trip and works fine under Ubuntu. Hope this helps

I was actually just researching that exact one. Have you tested it
with WPA? Which driver are you using? gentoo-portage.com lists a few
ralink drivers but no rt73.

I haven't tested the WPA yet, I know it works well with a WEP
encryption. I can test WPA tomorrow while everyone is at work and get
back to you with those results. I used the CVS driver provided at this
link [1] and followed the directions posted here [2]. Like I said I
havent tested under gentoo, but I see no reason why the drivers
wouldn't work.

No need for you to test. I'm going to buy one right now and I'll
report back with my results. There are some ebuilds I'll try for the
rt73 driver on bugs.gentoo.org.

Nightmare so far. I'll let you know how it goes from here.

I've got a Hawking HWUG1 that has always worked fine with the
rt73 driver.

I'm using ASUS WL-167g USB WLAN (rt73usb) and work well with or without
WPA_SUPPLICANT.

driver is already integrated in sys-kernel/vanilla-sources (2.6.24-rc5)
