I tested Edimax EW-7318Ug and EW-7318USg, both partialy supported with rum(4), mostly because of rx/tx low signals and crashing on SMP kernel. I got following kernel output on console: no match for ZwWriteFile no match for ZwCreateFile no match for ZwReadFile But both cards works fine, scan outputs are working and signal strength is great (comparing with rum(4)) Also association and data transfer works. It appears to deadlock if device is detached before module (rt73_sys.ko in this case) is unloaded, looks like usb problem to me. Before it got to HEAD, I would like if newly introduced linking bug got fixed.
