(Get the code!)
I tried using RT3572USB driver, dated 12/22/2009, version 2.3.0.0, with stock Ubuntu 9.10 and couldn't get it to authenticate.
I have a 1737:0079 device (as stated in my original bug) and a dual-band router that can associate with 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11a devices. I use WPA2 PSK with AES encryption, but have also tried WPA PSK with TKIP for completeness.
I added the PCI ID like everyone else did, and played around with various options in config.mk. I tried setting config with iwpriv, with cfg80211, with NetworkManager, and with the .dat file -- all to no avail.
The furthest I could get is using NetworkManager with cfg80211 support enabled. The attached dmesg is what happens when I try to authenticate with the 802.11n band using NetworkManager.
The revealing line(s):
[ 2961.072742] --> Control Thread !! ERROR !! Unknown(
This is likely what's holding it up. iwconfig indicates an encryption key is set, 100/100 signal strength, essid is correct, bit rate is correct... by all indications it should be associating, but it's just not. :(
