FWIW, and not that I doubt you, but I flagged this thread, just setup my
first ral-based 11g hostap pilot system using 3.9-release and Windows XP
SP2 clients and, using a similar setup, cannot reproduce the issue.
Details:
$ dmesg | grep ral0
ral0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0 "Ralink Technology, Inc., RT2500,
802.11 CardBus Reference Card": irq 11, address 00:0e:3b:07:a2:13
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2560 (rev 0x04), RF RT2525
$ cat /etc/hostname.ral0
inet 192.168.255.254 255.255.255.224 NONE \
nwid openbsd nwkey 0x5a5b3813297372517d647b294a mediaopt hostap
$ cat /etc/dhcpd.interfaces
ral0
It's nice to finally break the ~600KB/s 11b barrier with OpenBSD hostap.
A quick test using 128-bit WEP, the default channel and ftp reveals
~20Mb/s.
Thanks "devs."
