1 For rt73usb no firmware is needed. Just use vanilla kernel built-in module.

5 CONFIG_RT2X00=m
6 CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB=m
7 CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_USB=m
8 CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_FIRMWARE=y
9 # CONFIG_RT2400PCI is not set
10 # CONFIG_RT2500PCI is not set
11 # CONFIG_RT61PCI is not set
12 # CONFIG_RT2500USB is not set
13 CONFIG_RT73USB=m
14 CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS=y
15 CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y
