This bug is still present in Precise. Using an A-Link PCI card (Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01) according to lspci), I get about 1.4 Mbit/s regardless of what iwconfig shows, and so many dropped packets it's practically unusable. Disabling power management as per comment #161 helped somewhat: I get higher speeds, up to 10 Mbit/s immediately after boot, but soon it drops back to 1.4 Mbit/s range. It doesn't, however, drop packets anymore, so it's usable although sluggish.

Re: [Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
There seems to be an infinite amount of trust in the so-called specsheets from Ralink. If you would take a look at the publicly available sheets for rt61 and rt73, you would notice that there isn't that much useful in there to resolve throughput issues as experienced on rt2500pci/usb rt61pci/rt73usb (yes the problem is not only rt2500pci). But it is correct that the main focus currently is on the rt2800pci/usb drivers. We still want to maintain the older drivers, but we simply lack the time and developers for working on all drivers at the same time.

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Hello, The rt2500 chipset doesn't have any publicly datasheet available, so its development/bugs fixing is hard. I have asked more information on this really well known problem on the rt2x00's forum, and also where the datasheets are (to try to fix the bug by myself), here is the answer from Ivo van Doorn, administrator of the rt2x00 project: The specsheets are not publicly available. Only those for rt61 and rt73 have been released publicly by Ralink on their website, all older chipsets have not had this privilege and thus remain closed (although they are available to rt2x00 team members). So only the t2x00 team members are able to fix this bug, because they are the only ones to have access to the datasheet. Since this is an older chipset, I can understand that they prefer working on more recent chipset. -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
I am still experiencing this bug in karmic. Today I tried maverick (running from a USB stick), unfortunately the problem is still present. First the connection is fine (1.0 MB/s in my case), later the speed drops to 64 kB/s - 100 kB/s. (I'm testing the speed with 'scp'.) Then I tried: # iwconfig wlan0 power off # iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M fixed Then iwconfig will claim the speed is 54M, but actually it's much slower. As I wrote earlier, my workaround is right-click the NetworkManager applet on the Ubuntu desktop, deselect Enable Wireless, wait 2 seconds, then enable it again. Then the speed is good again for 1 minute to 1 day.

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
Hm, seems my RT2560 based card is now also affected by this issue, although I actually didn't notice until now.. (well, recently, I exchanged my modem router, but that should not be an issue - a netbook with an Intel wireless device runs at full 54M bandwidth all the time, while my RT2x00 card slows down at the same time). The card's power management is off by default on my system (by rc.local), yet it seems the card slows down from time to time to rates around 1400mbit/s. At first I thought this had something to do with pptp being enabled over the wireless network, but the problem persists when I disconnect from VPN. After shutting down the wireless connection via NetworkManager, and bringing it up again, bandwidth returns back to normal. iwconfig permanently reports 54M, signal strength is 80% most of the time. Is there a safe way to undoubtedly tell the bandwidth reduction I am experiencing here is actually the same issue as reported here? -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This usually works for a couple of hours. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, sometimes more than a day. Maybe I'll write a script for this one day.

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
OK, this appears to be an effective workaround: disable power management for the wireless chipset. As follows: Applications - Accessories - Terminal type (use copy/paste): gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local Press Enter. Add this line, just above exit 0 (use copy/paste): iwconfig wlan0 power off So it should become something like this (example): #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will exit 0 on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. iwconfig wlan0 power off exit 0 Save, close and reboot.

To summarise the status/package updates. This problem is related to the quality of the rt driver in the base kernel. This is not something we propose to fix in the kernel version as the changes to the latest are too great, therefore closing the kernel task Won't Fix. However, the driver is already backported for Intrepid and Jaunty in the linux- backports-modules-2.6.27/28 packages for those releases. Therefore closing FIx Commited for Intrepid and Jaunty.

Hello, tested the fixed driver using ubuntu-proposed repository and this packages: linux-image-2.6.27-14-generic linux-backports-modules-2.6.27-14-generic I can confirm that the driver now initializes fine at a much higher rate (in my case at about 48Mbit/s), while link quality ist displayed at a very high level (by network-manager). BUT, running a web-based dsl-speed-test only the first run (after initialization of my wireless connection my network-manager) gives me a good result (for me about 6MBit/s which maches exaclty what should be) and any further run of the test shows different speeds, but all of them are much lower, simetimes as low as 1Mbit/s. I repeated this test switching multiple times between this driver and the legacy rt2500 driver and everytime get the same results. Somehow the speed is very unstble for me. BTW. The legacy driver passed the dsl-speed-test constantly at about 5.8Mbit/s at each run. -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem is still there. I've also noticed something else. The link quality is rather low at 1M (41/100) and increases to 57/100 when I set the rate to 54M. My guess is that the drivers sees a low link quality and therefore selects 1M. I'v looked for some technical documentation of the driver but there seems to be nothing there!

1) confirm the base speed selected after association I tested with all versions of Ubuntu including backports. ALWAYS speed was 1M after association and stayed at that level. Even worse, the link quality is very bad with this driver since this bug appeared. 2) if the speed is 1M confirm whether the command below allows higher speeds: iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M This raises speed to the desired rate but link quality is very bad, so effective speed is not good compared to legacy rt2500 driver at same rate. I think this two things (1M after assoc and link quality) are related. -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ah, I see, thank you for the answer. Sometimes things are complicated, sorry. In a vanilla linux kernel is there the new driver that works with network manager or the old legacy driver that only works with rutilt? So the bug is actually that in the new driver the possible speed is not recognised correctly and so the driver is so very slow. Is this so hard to fix? For me it sounds as if this could be easyly hard coded, if it's not possible to fix the bug to find out the correct possible speed.

I am a bit confused, could someone confirm my thoughts, please? - There are two GPL drivers for this wlan card: - One driver is the in the linux kernel and is called rt2x00 [1]. This driver works, but is not compatible to network manager. (The last tarball seems to be from 'Apr 30 2007' [2] , so this seems a bit dead, but there are still updates from time to time in the linux kernel (e.g. [3]), so it is not dead. Why does it not work with network manager? Is there a problem in the driver or in network manager? Is there already a bug report for this issue? - The other driver is called rt2500pci. This driver is shipped with Ubuntu and is used by default for the rt2500 chips. This driver works with network manager, but is extremely slow. Is there a bug report against exactly this package? I don't understand completely what's going on here, could someone please help me? Thanks!

[Bug 190515] Re: [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers
This is turning into a genuine fiasco. I'm very aware that most work on Linux is on a volontary basis but upstream's arrogance and attitude, quite frankly, sucks. Look, if the driver is a rt2xxx generic, catch all, then the damn thing should work with rt2400 and rt2500 chipsets. If he doesn't want to back port (wait, isn't your crap supposed to work with 45 25? What's back about it?) then the driver name should be changed to rt 26* or rt28* or whatever since it IS NOT GENERIC TO ALL RT2xxx chipsets! Furthermore, as was stated above, sine it doesn't work and isn't generic to the family any more, then the legacy drivers should be reinstated. So, exactly where is the issue and why have we gone 3 versions without support for a very common and popular wireless chipset? Three versions and hundreds of broken laptops later we're still discussing this? The driver is NOT generic to the whole chipset series. The driver IS broken. The author refuses to make his generic driver generic any more. Rename the damn thing, reinstate the legacy drivers and move on. Sorry, but all this pussy footing around and breakage for hundreds of users over one asshole's arrogance and everybody's refusal to call him the elitist prick that he is or just ignore him is beyond frustrating. -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I guess this bug report should be renamed to Low bandwidth with rt2400pci / rt2500pci drivers. I hear too often: workaround, just compile rt2500 drivers from serialmonkey. But this is a completely different driver - not working with network-manager. This hint doesn't help to solve my problem. It just tells me to use different software with different functionality. Again: rt2500 works, speed ok, router ok BUT no network-manager support. rt2500pci doesn't work, low speed, (at least my) router unstable (beginning with intrepid) BUT with network-manager support.

I got a working work-around, just using standard Ubuntu stuff. Basically, this is reinstalling the legacy drivers, with workaround for bug 183818, and on my system with a recent kernel: 2.6.24-21. As not everyboby might know all commands, I'll lay out what I did: 1) install rt2500-source, using Synaptic Package Manager 2) open a Terminal (under accessories), and type: cd /usr/src/modules/rt2500 vi rtmp_main.c 3) in vi (or any other standard editor), change on line 254, the line SET_MODULE_OWNER(net_dev); into: #ifdef __BUGFIX__ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rt2500/+bug/183818/ SET_MODULE_OWNER(net_dev); #endif 4) type in the terminal sudo make sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/ rt2x00_orig sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/ sudo cp -p rt2500.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/ sudo depmod 5) at this point in time, I rebooted my system, and got normal rt2500 functionality Note that I did NOT use the debian style calls as described in the file INSTALL.Debian sudo module-assistant prepare sudo module-assistant get rt2500 sudo module-assistant build rt2500 Also note that installing a new kernel version will require that you do these actions again. -- [Hardy][Intrepid] Low bandwidth with rt2400 / rt2500 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
