The bug that ben pointed is highly important here. Another one that is important is fixed by: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commit;h=e36f39e4d4673421cc74d6829c387b18b5819998 The text says: ,---- | rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume time | | The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK | consume time are different then the values as | used by the Legacy drivers. | | After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that | the calculated values caused a high amount of TX | failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers | were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to | excessive retries. | | The symptoms of this problem: | - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs | - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed | | Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely) | - Problems with DHCP | - Broken connections due to lack of probe response | | This should fix at least: | Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273] | Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203] | but possible some additional bugs as well. | | Signed-off-by: Ivo van Doorn <ivdo...@gmail.com> | Signed-off-by: John W.
