Using driver rt2500usb for an internal wireless chip on my laptop.
lsusb output:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 RaLink Technology, Corp.

Tested with kernel 2.6.24-19-generic (linux-image-generic, version 2.6.24-19.36) installed as an update to clean Hardy 8.04.1 install. Result: WiFi was detected but speed was set at 1MB/s as described in the bug.

Installed linux-backport-modules and rebooted. Result: WiFi connected at full speed 54MB/s

If you are experiencing problems with this chipset, try installing the linux-backport-modules-hardy package and reboot.

sudo apt-get install linux-backport-modules-hardy

Do the recent updates only fix the problem for USB chipsets?
