I had problems a couple years back with the ralink driver on Ubuntu. Running /sbin/iwconfig showed that the Rate was always something very close to 1 (bottom of the scale, I forget the units). Connections were horribly slow. I could run "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" and it would fix things until next boot. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
