Bug Description

I have an Edimax 7128 Wireless PCI card. At Edimax's website (www.edimax.com), they provide a Linux driver for the card. The driver is RT73, but I haven't been able to successfully build the driver and use it. By default, Ubuntu notices the device and uses RT61, I believe. The kernel driver though does not support WPA encryption and can't actually connect. Is there a way I can get some help with installing the driver, and then for it to be pushed in future kernel releases?

Here's a link to the site where you can download it:

Thanks again.

Nevermind. This problem is fixed in Gutsy already. I downloaded the beta iso and installed it, and it works perfectly.
