is there documentation for wusb54gc and rt73 drivers? otherwise l need a list of good wifi cards that you could use. i also can't access the network manager because it takes to long to load.
Look in /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/drivers
The cards with drivers there should work, if you stay away from Broadcom and rt2500

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, don't break it if you can't fix it
