[Bug 134660] Re: Ralink rt2400 / rt2500 / rt2570 / rt61 / rt73 do not work out of the box in Gutsy/Hardy

[Rui Castro]

Hi,

I have 2 Edimax EW-7108PCg cards (rt61pci driver), one in gutsy with
hardy kernel and another in hardy beta with all updates.

Both systems are connected to the same access point (with WPA1/AES) and
the connection doesn't fall as it did with the gutsy kernel, but it's
still inconstant in signal detection and performance.

The information about the connection is also wrong, I think. 
This is what i see with iwconfig:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"Casa"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:18:F3:98:D3:C4   
          Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          Link Quality=48/100  Signal level=-40 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

the quality is varies from 50% to 90% with the wireless card and the access point in the same room and the bit rate is always 1Mb/s!!!
Copying a music album (~100Mb) from one computer to the other takes arround 15 min. Too slow!

So, for me rt61pci from hardy is more stable, but much more slow than in
gutsy.
