I haven't seen a rc1 yet. Anyway I saw that only the 3 bugfixes are currently in the queue. As the owner of several (10 by the university and 2 personal) rt73 usb wireless cards, I would really like it if the latest version 2.1.5 made into 2.6.26. As someone who has used 2.6.24 and finished compiling 2.6.25 two days ago I find that the driver in both kernels is not good. Not good means I get a wireless signal and I get data transfers, but the speed fluctuates and have other issues. However with each release, the problems I have are slowing decreasing. I have been waiting patiently for 2.6.25-rc1 to have 2.1.5 since 2.1.5 was announced. I really think all of 2.1.5 should get in 2.6.25-rc1. > > Have you tried forcing the rate to 54Mbit instead of letting the rate selection algorithm doing its work? > It seems to have helped with several other users. For rt73? IIRC the rate selection algo does not work at all for that device, because we cannot report failed frames. Or have you done anything about that I might have missed, Ivo? If not, the rate is probably fixed at 54Mbit anyway.
