With Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24.18-generic, I was able to get my RT2500 to work full speed by using the rt2500-cvs-2008060319 driver. On a different machine using Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24.19-generic and the same RT2500 card, I had no choice, but to resort to using the winxp driver under ndiswrapper.

So far(about 1hr), ndiswrapper seems to be working great for the second machine. I'll give that machine at least a week, before I actually declare it as WORKING. My past experience with ndiswrapper has produced many failures on some machines after 1 week. I know, weird, but welcome to my life. The first machine with the cvs driver has been working fullspeed for a good 3 weeks now. But I'll be updating the kernel to latest in the repos tonight, so I expect I'll probably have some issues with it of course.

Man what a bummer, As far back as breezy, I never had to do any more than punch in the ssid for my RT2500. But then hardy came along. I'll try to keep you updated on my progress.
