in case it is useful:

I am currently using the vendor driver on a device I have (O2 Joggler).
The rt2800usb driver didn't work well and the staging rt2870sta driver
didn't seem to work with wireless N and users reported to me that it
drops the connection and is unreliable. The vendor driver does seem to
work best.

I made a debian package (using dkms) of the vendor driver on my joggler
ppa. tested working wiht 2.6.37/2.6.38

note it doesn't automatically install the newer firmware so that will
need to be done manually.

Hi,

Tried 2.6.39, laggy, lots of errors, going to go back to 2.6.38 w/ rt2870sta.

Is there a certain or driver one should use with a MediaLink USB adapter?
http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-Wireless-Adapter-802-11n-Compatible/dp/B002RM08RE

The rt2870sta works flawlessly with 2.6.38.
The rt2800usb is very problamtic.

Thanks,

Justin.
