Using an A-Link PCI card
("Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)" according to lspci),
I get about 1.4 Mbit/s regardless of what iwconfig shows, and
so many dropped packets it's practically unusable.
Disabling power management as per comment #161 helped somewhat:
I get higher speeds, up to 10 Mbit/s immediately after boot, but soon
it drops back to 1.4 Mbit/s range. It doesn't, however, drop packets
anymore, so it's usable although sluggish.
This bug is still present in Precise.
