My Ralink wlan works with the deb above, but the NetworkManager is having problems with it. I did manual configuration with network settings app and the wlan works, the NetworkManager still does not work with it. And the connection is a little choppy.. serialx@uranus:~$ sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon NetworkManager: starting... NetworkManager: wlan0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'rt73'.
