Comment 157 for bug 190515

I had been using 2.3.31-17 so tried upgrading to 2.6.32 but still can't get more than 1Mb/s through my 10Mb/s Internet connection.

@papukaija - I can believe the rt2500pci kernel module is providing adequate support for some devices - but not certainly not for my RaLink PCI card.

Details of my configuration below. Also more than happy to provide more information if required.

paul@locke:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-020632-generic

paul@locke:~$ iwconfig wlan0

          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.442 GHz Access Point: 00:14:7C:B6:14:C8
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

          Link Quality=62/70 Signal level=-48 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

* Note: I have had to disable power management due to this bug: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1129333
Saying that, regardless of whether I enable or disable it I still get the poor throughput.
