All you need to do is compile the rt73 serial monkey drivers and it starts working.
Here is the HOWTO I followed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236. After following the howto, it would still drop my connection at random times, but at least I didn't have to reboot. Also, by using the howto, it for some reason rendered the wicd utility useless. I had to do things by commandline. But the good news is, I tried using the serialmonkey rutilt (instead of wicd), and now everything works great. No more commandline stuff and no more dropped connections. Following the above-mentioned howto doesn't require you to do anything with your kernel (like recompile). All you need to do is have the kernel source on your machine.
