Hi,

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.
I was complaining about speed a while ago, so after reading this post, I thought I should try again and tell you:

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.

I rebuilt 2.6.25-rc8 (again) to use the 'simple' algorithm instead of the 'PID' algorithm by default. rt2500pci is still fast!
