You just helped me discover a new trick!! I couldn't get my N800 to see the new Asus USB stick at all. I was getting very frustrated. Finally, I tried lsusb to see what I had attached, and lsusb just came up with 0000:0000 ... and then a flurry of "not recogized" messages flashed in the corner of the screen, the "no filesystem" dialogue... and when I ran lsusb, there it was! And iwconfig now shows my device, wlan1: RT73 WLAN!

Cool. lsusb forces the N800 to poll the USB port again and that seems to do the trick for my setup.
