Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, I recall using this driver in staging and it crashing my machine, now thats its no longer in staging, I thought I'd give it another try.. Using the following wireless usb adapter, I'm seeing very high latency when using the device in Linux, (with Windows, there are no problems). Using Debian Testing + wpa_supplicant, using the following USB adapter: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp.
