What works, and doesn't, for you. Be specific, and please include Puppy version.

Yes, 050d:705a = Belkin F5D7050 v3000.

And yes, kirk was right about the manf-id not being defined in the driver, see here http://61.222.76.235/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2329

So this is the latest RT2571W/RT2671 (rt73) driver, v1.0.3.6 with manf-id hack. This should work!
I suggest you delete /etc/Wireless/RT73STA/rt73sta.dat and use the more conventional iwconfig method of configuration. rt73sta.dat is now in /root/my-applications in case you need it.

EDIT July 9 2006 - removed rt73-legacy3.pup
This driver is now contained in ralink-legacy.pup from http://www.dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/wireless-drivers/

I still on the line after 2 hours constantly use. That has never happend before....But strange things are happening? According to Blinky, I'm constantly recieving bytes. Happends immediatly after connection. Even if I don't use the connection? How can I see what is arriving?

My ralink rt2570 does the same thing, but my rtl8180 is displayed fine.
