I'm not sure if it's the right place to mention that, but I have exactly the same kind of problem with :
- wifi usb dongle with *ralink* rt2500usb chipset and - pci wifi card with *ralink* rt28xxpci The first one has worked for me from ubuntu 08.04 till ubuntu 12.04.02 (or .03) The second one is part of a newer pc and has never fully worked since ubuntu 12.04.02 (or .03) neither on 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04 Problems are the same for both cards : they see networks, can connect, but wifi rates are so low than it's non usable. I have tried to compile linux-drivers provided by ralink but I'm not skilled enough and had no success. Those drivers were designed for 2.6.x kernel you can find here http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads/ Also tried with ndiswrapper, not better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049466 Title: Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Invalid Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Invalid Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Baltix: Opinion Status in “linux” package in Gentoo Linux: New Bug description: RT3290 wifi chip is becoming common on consumer notebooks.
