I'm on a RT2500 card. This is how it looks in lshw under Gutsy:

In Gutsy my network worked well, it had some troubles but overall I was quite happy with it. Then I upgraded to Gutsy, and now I'm experiencing the troubles described in this report. The speeds are unbelievably slow, three times slower than I was on Gutsy and almost 10 times slower than my sister's (we can't loose to VISTA!) according to speedtest.nl (conducted with in Gutsy via the Live CD...). If I use download something under Hardy and ping my router at the same time I get ping times like 25 000ms and packetlosses of up to 25% it seems.

I upgraded from Hardy via the upgrade tool by the way, but it all worked under Gutsy.
