I'll start it over with the installation, so there's no ndiswrapper module loaded and i got a clear and fresh install. Since some one told me his success setting the same device, i compiled the rt73 driver (i used the daily CVS http://rt2×00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz), set it up with knetworkmanager and finally got the device worked. I don't know why, suddenly i went off line, the "act" led went off (the link is still on without blinking). I tried to restart the network service it stuck, the restarting process got hang. And so does the KDE applet (knetworkmanager). I re-pluged the device it went back normal but only for a few minutes. I tried to configure the network using traditional ifup (using YAST), I still get the same problem, it only allow me to online for several minutes. What should i check? Did i install the incorrect driver? Any idea what happened? One more thing, When i compiled the driver, the device was plugged (I forgot to unplug it). Is this mean something?

I had a similar occasional freeze at one out of 2 wireless networks I use. I had to disable and enable again wirelss, or even to completely restart networkmanager, dunno anymore. However before I could investigate further, the problem disappeared. There is a chance that my regular upgrades to the latest SuSE released software, including the kernel, did make the problem go away without further effort :) Sorry to have no other advice, it just works and works.
