Wirless rt2500pci very slow
Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and ran my wireless and noticed its extremely slow. On windows I get 90% signal strength, on Ubuntu I get 48% signal strength. That automatically means something is wrong. I have the rt2500pci drivers on because I did "lsmod" and saw them there, but is there something else I need to do to set them up properly. I need this problem fixed right away for school and business purposes.

My problem with this driver in 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-7) is that the
driver get fixed to 1 Mb instead of 54 Mbit.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"AirWolff"

after i do 'iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M' i get this:

Re: Wirless rt2500pci very slow
I have the same problem (on 8.10 currently, but it was the same on 8.4), so any help would be greatly appreciated.
And here's my info:

Re: Wirless rt2500pci very slow
I have just installed Hardy on my old laptop that has a card with the rt2500 chipset and i found that building and installing the latest driver daily build from serial monkey the signal seemed much more stable.
I had to blacklist rt2500pci.
I am using WPA-PSK at home.
I also built and installed the latest Rutilt wireless manager after uninstalling gnome network manager.
Although my experience with wifi is limited to this one card I do find that the wireless range is not as far as under MS XP but it functions ok.

Hiya
Mine is doing the same. It is running but only connected at 1Mbs. If it helps it used to work ok in Gutsy but didnt work in Hardy and still doesnt work in Ibex.
