HP 4540 here using Ralink 539a device. Upgraded to 13.10, kernel 3.11.1 Not only does the rt2800 driver continue to perform poorly (speed oscillating between 1 Mb/s and 62 Mb/s, and dropping often), but after compiling the MediaTek driver rt5390sta and loading it, the device will not initialize. I seem to have to use rt2800pci as my driver, but it is terrible. This is a major issue at our school where we are trying to use these machines with Ubuntu instead of Windows.
