Comment 168 for bug 34902

Passeli:
lshw reports your device is 11Mbs, rt2500 devices are 54Mbs.
Furthermore, the reason why the driver isn't working is because even lspci cannot detect your card.
I don't know why lshw does report the card, but lspci doesn't, but the only thing I can conclude from this, is that the driver isn't to blame for this since the problem is in the hardware.
Is the device correctly plugged in? Aren't there irq conflicts?
Does your log indicate anything regarding hardware problems?
