Comment 115 for bug 190515

The initial bit rate of 1M is still present in Jaunty Alpha4. I used the script at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14908987/ralink-fix to have the bit rate set to 54M on startup. That should go in /etc/network/if-up.d. With this in place I get 73/100 link quality while two feet from my wireless router.
