You might have the 036NH model, that does use Ralink. In this case, you should talk to the pople at aircrack-ng.org, they might have some backports that are patched for TCP. Once again, the ALFA AWUS036H card is supposed to have a Realtek chip and use rtl8187. I'm saying this because I've had three so far.
