Hi,I was complaining about speed a while ago, so after reading this post, I thought I should try again and tell you:Is the last kernel code working with RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI?With 'latest' do you mean: latest 2.6.25-rc kernel? latest wireless-testing git snapshot latest rt2x00 git snapshot The latter 2 should work fine, the first one has known issues but the state variates per person.The version in wireless-testing seems to work great, a test download gave me 1.24MB/s, which is about the same speed I get with my (Intel wireless) laptop. I am using rt2500pci.Does the above mean that the stock driver in 2.6.25 will still be slow?Most likely yes. Although I hear mixed reports, some say it depends on the rate selection algorithm, some claim rt2x00 in 2.6.24 is faster then wireless-testing and others claim the exact opposite. At the moment it is hard to tell, but I haven't collected data yet with specific information about the used rate selection module and exact data transfer numbers. Ivo
Okay, I tried again with 2.6.25-rc8 from linux-2.6 git. Speed is still great. However, with both wireless-testing and linux-2.6 I seem to be using the 'pid' algorithm:
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'With 2.6.24 I seem to be using the 'simple' rate control algorithm. I don't know how to switch rate control algorithms without rebuilding though, so I can't test 'simple' with 2.6.25.
