Then do the following: sudo cp /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin_old sudo cp ~/Downloads/rt2870.bin /lib/firmware/. sudo modprobe -rv rt2x00usb sudo modprobe -v rt2x00usb If your testing shows a regression in performance, then you can recover by copying rt2870.bin_old to rt2870.bin in /lib/firmware.
