Dear Team,
I'am using the following wireless-network-device:
Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. Device [1814:539a]
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1839]
Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
I had problems with it since I bought my laptop... The driver was
unstable with the kernel I used back in autumn 2012. Howeverer, one
kernel-update fixed it. Must be something about 3.4x?
It was defenetly working with the Kernels from 3.5 till 3.7 on
multible distros. 3.8 was bringing back the old Problems:
- extremly low signal
- hard to establish a connection to any acess-point.
The last "problematic" kernel I have testet was 3.9.5-1 on
Arch-Linux. Compiling the compat-drivers manually did not bring any
fix.
I am currently using 3.7.4-1 wich is working.
This most likely is a RT5390 TX power problem I made on 3.8.
This patch should help:

Yes, indeed! It helps.
Now it was possible to upgrade my kernel, without losing my
wireless-device to be usable. Thank you very much.
I'm afraid it is not a "flawless" experience.
On the git-page you mentioned:
> Once we implement proper TSSI tuning on 5390/3290 we can restore back
setting TX power by BBP_R1 register for those chips.
Is there any hope, that the driver will increase its performance one day?
...there are better chips on the market, that is for sure.
