Slow connection with WUSBGv4 in Hardy

[devosion]

When I used this linksys usb wifi connector in gutsy I would have it run through ndiswrapper with the drivers included in the software. Now that I have switched to hardy it seems to work out-of-the-box but the connection is terrible. I have re-installed ndiswrapper and the rt2500usb drivers but they dont seem to be picked up.

When I perform a ndiswrapper -l it shows that the driver is loaded but it doesnt seem to make a difference. I know im missing something here but i'd appreciate some help in getting this fixed. Thanks!

is it browsing speed or downloading speed? download a file and check the speed..

It is both. Firefox is running slower than on my laptop, and I noticed that I was getting at most 10kb/s when dling updates through package manager.

Please help.

Could at least someone tell me how I unload and reload modules? So that I can mess with unloading the default driver module and loading in ndiswrapper.

Bumping this again.

I've noticed that I cant get the ndiswrapper module to be associated with my linksys usb adaptor now. But as soon as I modprobe rt2500usb I obtain a wireless connection. Im not sure if I am the only one experiencing problems with Hardy acknowledging ndiswrapper for my linksys usb adaptor, but I never experienced this with Gutsy, or Fiesty for that matter.

I attempted the 'quick-fix' of bumping my bit rate speed up with


sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M


but that didnt help at all. I still have continued problems both browsing and downloading and I am not quite sure where to take this next. I'd really appreciate some assistance on this of some sort that either involves getting ndiswrapper associated with my linksys usb adaptor, or something else that will get my speed up from 8-16kb/s to something that better matches my bandwidth of 2mb/s on my dsl. At this rate i'll probably go back to Gutsy.

Managed to figure out the problem. Turns out this guide proved to be most helpful:

It may not work for all wusb54gv4 users with hardy but it solved the slow connection issues.
