[SOLVED] rt73usb ralink, modprobe each log in

Hi all, I am a new user ArchLinux (is a beautiful distro smile).

I have a some problems with WiFi.

I installed new compat-wireless and created the directory /lib/firmware for firmware.

For firmware:

mkdir /lib/firmware
wget http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/RT71W_Firmware_V1.8.zip
gunzip RT71W_Firmware_V1.8.zip
cd RT71W_Firmware_V1.8/
mv rt73.bin /lib/firmware/

For driver

tar xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-2.6
make
make install
make unload
make load

OK:

I installed wpa_supplicant, wireless_tools and with wicd WiFi work smile

*B U T*
i have problems with modules, each restart to run everything I have to

modprobe -r rt73usb
modprobe rt73usb

otherwise the device wlan0 no longer recognized.

I see this in dmesg

phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
phy0: Failed to initialize wep
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to initialize hw.
rt73usb: probe of 2-4:1.0 failed with error -12

Someone any ideas? thank's smile

I understand that in the Wiki wicd is written to add dbus but I think it is that makes him harm. Indeed dbus by an error at boot, removing dbus seems that now it's working
