compiling rt73 driver in FC5

Anyone successfully compiled the ralink linux native rt73 driver in Core 5? I've been trying & I"m just getting error output. I had seen a suggestion somewhere that the problem might be gcc 4.1?

I've got FC5 (64) running (and quite well, for the most part) on an Averatec 2260 EY-1 notebook with an internal USB MSI wireless card. Here's the lsusb -v output for the card:

I've also successfully compiled a module for this thing with ndiswrapper. But the kernel hangs on the modprobe: "Oops: 0000 [1] SMP" and "CR2: 000000000000002c"

Thoughts, anyone? I'd love to be able to be wireless on this sucker.
