Hi,
i today tried the in tree rt2x00 driver the first time and it immediatly
felt a little sluggish. It sometimes feels a little as the driver is
actually not using interrupts but rather polls at HZ rate or something.
I can actually see the device generating interrupts in /proc/interrupts
but still.
Machine is a 2Ghz P4 with an PCI Ralink RT2500:
0000:01:02.0 Network controller: RaLink Ralink RT2500 802.11 Cardbus Reference Card (rev 01)

While running an "find /" via ssh the output comes in and a second terminal shows this:
