Hi Everyone,

I would like to confirm blacklisting the rt2800usb driver and adding rt2870sta module brought my wireless back online. Here is my device info:

ff8jake@machine:~$ lsusb | grep rt2
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 07d1:3c09 D-Link System DWA-140 802.11n Adapter [ralink rt2870]

However, I am now experiencing EXTREMELY slow initial connections. An example of such would be a telnet test to google on port 80:

ff8jake@machine:~$ telnet google.com 80

(at this point, there is a 5 or so second delay. ^C does not abort the telnet process til this delay is done)

Trying 74.125.45.100...
Connected to google.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]

telnet> quit
Connection closed.
ff8jake@machine:~$

Reading on the rt2870sta driver it seems that it may be somewhat buggy so I assume it is to blame. Will be very happy to get rt2800usb working. :)
