Thought I'd just say that I ran into this problem after upgrading Gutsy to Hardy, i.e. slow connection, 50% signal strength, but that running the command 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M' has fixed both aspects of the problem. So to me it seems the driver works but is just being configured wrongly. Maybe for the Hardy release all that needs to happen is for the rate to be set to 54M by default? My thinking might be too simplistic though.

P.S. I'm using kernel 2.6.24-14-generic with a rt2500pci card.
