Since the Debianers used rt2500, I have tried the same - but without
luck. The version from Ubuntu repository didn't want to compile with
module-assistant (it died with error).
Your post gave me another idea, to use the rt2500 straight from CVS. And it
worked!
I've used the "rt2500 1.1.0 CVS 2008030802" version, which compiled and worked
fine on 2.6.24-11-generic kernel. It gave me full 54Mb/s :) Yes, I blacklisted
manually rt2x00lib, rt2x00pci and rt2500pci but I think it was worth it :D
Today I've installed the upgrades and along with them came the
2.6.24-12-generic kernel. As expected, the wi-fi card worked no loger,
since the relevant modules were left in the previous kernel. So, using a
routine I used to in my Gentoo days, I reinstalled the driver after the
kernel upgrade. It was only a matter of:
"make clean ; make ; make install ; modprobe rt2500"
And there it is again:
# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 RT2500 Wireless ESSID:"przestrzen"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:-3 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:------XX Security mode:open
Link Quality=85/100 Signal level:-49 dBm Noise level:-79 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I appreciate the serialmonkey work very much, but just as a quick remedy I'm
reverting for now to the legacy rt2500 driver (that works :)
Friendly,
Wiktor
