Public bug reported: I realize that ralink chips have had a lot of attention recently due to their poor support in Ubuntu but my CNet CWC-854 with the RT2561/RT61 rev B chip actually worked flawlessly in a very recent (i.e. updated) Gutsy system. After update to Hardy alpha4 (or 5) the other day, the card still works but operates at 1Mbit/s only. Running 'iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M' did set the reported rate to 54Mbps but the actual transfer remained at under 1Mbps (~80kB/s).
