Hi Ivo, Sorry to be out of the loop, but what is wrong with rt61pci? It works really really well for me, using John's "everything" branch. Hmm. Looking at Linus's tree, I can see that rt61pci is missing at least 1 critical fix from Mattias Nissler that has been in wireless-2.6 for a long time now. rt2x00: Allow rt61 to catch up after a missing tx report I'd be pretty disappointed if we released 2.6.24 without this. It is a simple fix for a really obnoxious problem (although one that triggers rarely on my hardware). There are also a bunch of antenna selection fixes that never went upstream. These are required for my card to operate well at rates greater than 1Mbit, even when fairly close to the AP. But aside from these issues, the latest 2.6.24-rc7 seems ok for me. My testing of it is somewhat limited, due to the terrible performance. But I can associate, browse the web and run iperf tests. -- Will Dyson
