Comment 135 for bug 1049466

Is there any hope of getting the rt2x00pci drivers to work properly on Ubuntu x64? This is what I get on 13.04 with kernel 3.8.0-33-generic

With Ralink driver and patch by bmlandis2010:

 Ralink STA ESSID:"DLink" Nickname:"RT3290STA"
          Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
          Bit Rate=39 Mb/s
          RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Link Quality=89/100 Signal level:-76 dBm Noise level:-91 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

With rt2x00pci driver:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"DLink"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
          Bit Rate=19.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=30/70 Signal level=-80 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:41 Invalid misc:1613 Missed beacon:0

Even though the signal levels are nearly equal (-76 dBm and -80 dBm) link quality with rt2x00pci is too low (30/70) when compared to Ralink driver (89/100). There are too many Tx excessive retries and Invalid misc values.
