basramm,
interesting you mention latency. Do you have a feel for the time duration of 
the latency?

Reason I ask is that I am about to give up on wireless n and Linux and possibly 
Linux altogether. the reason is that when streaming AAC audio (from a 
Windows/samba share) I get frequent TCP retransmissions (every minute or so, 
accompanied in 2secs interruption in the sound) and having eliminated all other 
possible causes are coming to the conclusion that it is probably latency of the 
adapter or the TCP layer itself (or bad Ralink driver).
I know very little about TCP but have read that there are lots of ways you can 
tweak it in Linux but if the linksys adapter has a fundamental latency issue 
that I don't know if any amount of tweaking is going to fix it. apparently 
these TCP Retransmission events are an absolute killer for wireless connections 
due to the time it take to recover (1 to 2 secs)

Funny thing is that I can stream MP3 and also copy very large (3Gb)
files using my Linksys adapter not problem, but it is the infrequent,
small packets of the AAC stream that gives my system real problems and
basically at the moment kill any ambition I had of building my Linux
media center.
