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?

Well I didn't do anything new, but this line will report rt2x00lib that the frame was succesfully send or failed to send: txdesc.status = !urb->status ? TX_SUCCESS : TX_FAIL_RETRY; What is missing is the retry count, since that is something that the USB drivers cannot report. (Unless I grab the max retry count as configured by mac80211 as the number of retries on failure) Ivo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
