I haven't seen a rc1 yet. Anyway I saw that only the 3 bugfixes are currently in the queue. As the owner of several (10 by the university and 2 personal) rt73 usb wireless cards, I would really like it if the latest version 2.1.5 made into 2.6.26. As someone who has used 2.6.24 and finished compiling 2.6.25 two days ago I find that the driver in both kernels is not good. Not good means I get a wireless signal and I get data transfers, but the speed fluctuates and have other issues. However with each release, the problems I have are slowing decreasing. I have been waiting patiently for 2.6.25-rc1 to have 2.1.5 since 2.1.5 was announced. I really think all of 2.1.5 should get in 2.6.25-rc1. > > Have you tried forcing the rate to 54Mbit instead of letting the rate selection algorithm doing its work? > It seems to have helped with several other users. > > Ivo No I haven't tried that. However I have 54Mbit (g) at home, but only 11Mbit (b only) at work. I guess I would have to change the rate when I change locations.
