Titel: module not charged at boot

I have a USB wireless ta with ralink rt73 chipset.
I have compiled the module and (as written in readme)

/sbin/insmod rt73.ko
/sbin/ifconfig rausb0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up

I have inserted in etc/modules.conf : alias rausb0 rt73

I have created file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-rausb0 and inserted in it
DEVICE='rausb0"
ONBOOT='yes'

all ok

but when I reboot module is not charged and
I have to do insmod rt73.ko from sources directory every time.

Can anyone help me?

You are not to edit /etc/modules.conf by hand. That is done by update-modules.
Instead add modules you want loaded on boot to /etc/modules.

It sounds to me as though you did not install the module. If you did it is not anywhere that it can be found. It should live in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

By the way. Instead of using insmod use modprobe.
