Hello Helmut, I applied your patch to compat-wireless-2011-07-18 on an Intel Core i5 CPU M460 2.53 GHz (quad core) with kernel kernel-desktop-3.0.rc7-1.1.x86_64 from OpenSuSE and tested with Linksys WUSB600N v2 (it's a rt3572 chip) on 40MHz / 802.11n . I just run it a few days ago with the same compat-wireless package and it was totally unusable. With your patch, it's surprisingly running now - ok, the performance is not as good as with rt3572sta and it isn't stable under high load (you know - netperf and so ...). It just stalls after a few minutes. There are at this moment no entries in messages. But before, I get an entry: Jul 21 16:59:42 pc2 kernel: [20443.730419] phy0 -> rt2x00usb_watchdog_tx_status: Warning - TX queue 2 status timed out, invoke forced tx handler The ping-latency is great - about 0.5 ms (rt3572sta: about 0.7 ms). The performance with netperf is: rt3572sta rt2800usb supplicant -> hostapd 6.3 M/s 4 M/s hostapd -> supplicant 7.7 M/s 5.7 M/s If you could increase the stability under load and if you could increase the performance a bit more, it would be great!
