I had been using 2.3.31-17 so tried upgrading to 2.6.32 but still can't get more than 1Mb/s through my 10Mb/s Internet connection.
@papukaija - I can believe the rt2500pci kernel module is providing adequate support for some devices - but not certainly not for my RaLink PCI card.
Details of my configuration below. Also more than happy to provide more information if required.
