It does however work in g-mode. So far I have found out that setting my access point to g-mode will force the whole network into g-mode, and thus the card works. However, I would like to keep my network running in n-mode and just force the card into g-mode. I tried: "iwconfig wlan1 rate 54M" but this does not work, according to iwconfig the card stays on 300M. Does anyone know how I can force this either in userland or maybe by modifying the driver source? The device: USB ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter the driver in kernel 2.6.32: r8192s_usb though I would also like to use this device on a kernel 3.0.63, and I am not sure the same driver is in use there. thank you.
