Hi, thanks for your answer.
From what I was able to understand, the old driver uses the ieee8011 stack,
and the new uses the mac80211.
Since I'm neither a newbie, nor an expert, I don't know if the sentence has
a real meaning...
The try about the rate has already been tested. No changes locking it. Same
results with the automatic rate, with rate 1 mbps and with 54 mbps...
Maybe I can send you the device id in lsusb, this evening or during the next
days, since now I flashed the old 2.4 release and I need to reflash the
device with the new kernel.

For what concern the "PID rate-setting algorithm" setting "CONFIG_EXPERT=y"
I don't know anything...
I'm going to search for it on the net and I will try it too.
Is lsusb not available in the 2.4 system?
DO NOT DROP the wireless list from the Cc. Doing so converts the exchange back
to a private one, and I will ignore further messages if you do that. It is also
better if you bottom post. That way a reader can go through the background material.
The 2.4 driver used its own built-in softmac 802.11 stack. Mac80211 is a
replacement for it. Although mac80211 has a great deal more functionality, they
generally do the same things.
