I'm using the vanilla 2.6.26 kernel and also tried with rc-6 to 9 before 
2.6.26 was released. I saw the change log and I was sure it would work 
with the 2.6.26 kernel but it did not.
  I got an acx111 card monitoring the situation and I never saw 1 beacon 
frame from the rt73.
  Everything else worked ok, even without the beacon frames I could 
connect OK. Only windows XP ndis gave issues.
  I will try it once again in case I missed something and if it still 
fails I will send it to you.
