Is there any hope of getting the rt2x00pci drivers to work properly on Ubuntu x64? This is what I get on 13.04 with kernel 3.8.0-33-generic
With Ralink driver and patch by bmlandis2010: Ralink STA ESSID:"DLink" Nickname:"RT3290STA" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate=39 Mb/s RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Link Quality=89/100 Signal level:-76 dBm Noise level:-91 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 With rt2x00pci driver: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"DLink" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Bit Rate=19.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=30/70 Signal level=-80 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:41 Invalid misc:1613 Missed beacon:0 Even though the signal levels are nearly equal (-76 dBm and -80 dBm) link quality with rt2x00pci is too low (30/70) when compared to Ralink driver (89/100). There are too many Tx excessive retries and Invalid misc values. -- 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 “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.
