  Description     : Linux device driver for Ralink RT73 a/b/g WLAN Card

I am the owner of USB-stick Wi-Fi network interface (Edimax EW-7318Ug). The
only working driver is Ralink RT73 original driver. I'd like to see this 
driver
in Debian distribution.

I want to provide rt73-source package which is compatible with
module-assistant. The resulting package (rt73-module-$VERSION) contains
rt73.ko driver. The driver loads firmware from separate file and has included
the blob with the default firmware if separate file is not available.

I think the driver can go to contrib with removed the blob from its sources
and with the firmware rt73.bin file can go to non-free as rt73-firmware 
package.

The rt73.bin file is marked as GPL. There is no real source code included but
this license implies that it is redistributable file at least as non-free.
