I’ve installed the ralink-firmware package and everything seemed to work right from the start but after a reboot my wlan0 interface changed to rausb0 and wireless scanning & connecting stopped working using the network manager.
However, the following:
iwconfig rausb0 essid myessid
dhclient rausb0
makes my internet connection work and “iwlist scan” also works.
How can I change this back to wlan0?
I’ve installed the driver packages from shmolle’s repository and it has changed back to wlan0 so instead I’d like to know how I can check which wireless driver is in use because I can get network manager back working when I do a modprobe -r rt73 and pull out my adapter and plug it back in. So I’d like to remove the buggy driver and use the working one.

The lsmod command will show you which modules are loaded.
The renaming of network interfaces is handled by the rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-network/70-persistent-net.rules. If you don’t
understand it, post the contents and we can tell you what to change.

That won’t be necessary anymore because I recently changed to the shmolle ralink-firmware package and the rt73usb module is working, my adapter leds are a buggy but I’m glad it’s working. And by changing to the shmolle package also fixed the rausb0 issue.
Thank you for your help
