+==== 2.6.31 kernel and above gives rt73.ko failed to build ====
+Compiling on 26.31 and above kernels gives an error message "rt73.ko failed to build!".  This [[http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=1824.msg33360#msg33360|thread]] provides a workaround.  Hopefully a corrected version of the driver will be released shortly.
