I agree with previous posters. This issue is absolutely not medium. LTS = RaLink 2500 fixed, period. I don't claim to be an expert, but I went through this ugly wireless setup process three releases ago to get WPA2 working, and seeing it borked again just sucks. Fix this. Please. -- [Hardy]

My network card worked fine on both 7.x-releases, but now in Hardy it does not. This is how I solved it (and shouldn't have had to... FAR too much hassle): 0) Install build essentials... 1) Download the rt2500 serialmonkey drivers, compile and install. (wget, make, sudo make install) 2)

Thought I'd just say that I ran into this problem after upgrading Gutsy to Hardy, i.e. slow connection, 50% signal strength, but that running the command 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M' has fixed both aspects of the problem. So to me it seems the driver works but is just being configured wrongly.

I'm not sure why this is Medium. Most computers these days are doorstops if they don't have reliable networking. You have a LTS release due next month and you are persisting with releasing broken drivers for Ralink chipsets. There was a point about a month ago where someone needed to make a call

Could a switch to the legacy drivers be considered at this point for the rt2400/2500 hardware, knowing that the legacy drivers have worked great on previous releases, and that the 2.6.24 rt2x00 won't be fixed (cf previous posts)? I'll redo some tests, but IIRC, the range of the wifi link was also
