Well, I'm a moron. I spent several weeks working on the Ralink driver,
profiling linux vendor provided code; looking at changes between 2860,
35xx, and 3090; and nagging various people. I made a single change and
the ral(4) driver is working on the Ralink 35xx series in both client
and hostap mode (currently, 11b mode).
What is the protocol for testing? Here's my agenda for testing:
1. Try different (faster) wireless modes.
2. Stress-test bandwidth with file transfers
3. Long term monitor for packet-loss, reconnects, and ping spikes.
4. Throw away that Fedora ISO. (supports 35xx out-of-the-box)
5. Bathe in the glory of OpenBSD.
The change I made was simple:
/usr/src/sys/dev/ic/rt2860.c : Line 202
Change "RT3070_DEF_RF" to "RT3572_DEF_RF"
That causes the rt3090_def_rf[] array to fill with defaults for the
35xx. I'm surprised this change works.
Thanks,
Nathan
