    rt2800usb or rt2870sta

    Hi,

    I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and i'm wondering which driver i should use to get full n-speeds. I have tried the rt2800usb driver and that gives me 54Mbits. I have still to try to compile the rt2870sta driver with the tutorial(not for the driver I have, but i guess it is the same if i swap out the names and driver versions) i found on here. I'm running kernel 3.0 (custom for gameservers). Or are there any other "tricks" to make it get full speed using the rt2800usb driver?

    Hi,

    which device do you want to use? Please show

    Code:
    lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
    lsusb
    lsmod
    iwconfig
    iwlist chan
    sudo iwlist scan
    BTW: That link goes to rt2860sta, which is a driver for a PCI device.

    Hi

    I want to use a D-Link DWA-140 on it. The network is slowing down because that is the only non-N unit that's on it.

    Check the device ID with

    Code:
    lsusb
    if it is 07d1:3c09 or 07d1:3c0a

    For this device you should use the rt2800usb, blacklist the other one. You need the newest firmware for that one, too. Install the package linux-firmware

    Hi. The problem isn't that I can't achieve internetconnectivity. The problem is the speed of the connection. I am using the rt2800usb driver because i'm on kernel 3.0.0.

    Re: rt2800usb or rt2870sta

    Also what is the output of:

    Code:
    lshw -C network
    What I am looking for is this line:

    Code:
    configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rt2800usb driverversion=2.6.35-30-generic firmware=0.29 ip=192.168.1.118 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn
    Firmware version 29 is the latest version.

    Below is my iwconfig:

    Code:
    wlan2     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"KJAWJR"  
              Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.18 GHz  Access Point: C0:C1:C0:38:4F:32

              Power Management:on
