Linksys WUSB54GC Wireless USB Adapter -- install on

Debian 2.6.8 kernel
Most of this info came from posts on Ralinktech.com forums

my base system consisted of a "minimal" debian install from debian-31r1-i386-netinst.iso

apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8 kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386 unzip gcc-3.4 gcc make
wireless-tools

cd /usr/src
tar -xvjf kernel-source-2.6.8.tar.bz2
mv kernel-source-2.6.8 linux-2.6.8
get linux driver from RaLink web site

wget http://www.ralinktech.com/drivers/Linux/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.0.tar.gz

tar -xvzf RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.0.tar.gz

cd RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.0/Module
cp Makefile.6 Makefile
vi /usr/src/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.0/Module/rtmp_def.h

... after the #define RTVID3 and RTPID3 lines insert:

#define RTVID4 0x13b1 // Linksys WUSB54GC

#define RTPID4 0x0020

... after the "{USB_DEVICE(RTVID3,RTPID3)}, \" line insert:

{USB_DEVICE(RTVID4,RTPID4)},
... save and exit
wq!

make

cp rt73.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.8-2-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt73.ko
depmod -a
modprobe rt73 (should be redundant ?)

vi /etc/modprobe.conf

alias rausb0 rt73

vi /etc/network/interfaces

auto rausb0
iface rausb0 inet static

What about Monitor mode - It doesn't seem to work with the ralink drivers.
The drivers at serialmonkey.com do have Monitor mode but as yet they don't work properly.
Any other way to get Monitor mode going?

Hey! I made it work in a debian-like distribution... any idea on how to create my access point
using this driver? Any tools for that?

Thanks,
