I also get more than 100 hits from (probably the same) well-known
search engine for "rt73usb_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RT chipset
detected". I'm sure those aren't all for the same USB ID, and perhaps
none of them are. Then again, not all of the 1500+ that you cite
are for the same USB ID either.
So I'm curious, how can you be sure that 148f:2573 is _always_ wrong
for rt2500usb? I do acknowledge that the "73" part makes it suspicious...
