That information is misleading, I remmember reading somewhere that linux rt73
had similar problems like rum but it got fixed, and is not present in
new kernels.
I think that problem originated for linux from now obsolete drivers.

On what linux version and what drivers version do you experience
similar problems
with signal sensitivity like with rum?
