Comment 39 for bug 408165

Yohann,
thanks for helping BoboKrull, I was going to respond but am at work and struggling to remember all the steps which I did.

After I reinstalled the ralink driver (with the change to the config.mk to match yours) the adapter would not come back up, and I remember that doing the "sudo modprobe rt3572sta" was the step which I was missing. I also had to power up/down my system at one point to get it to be recognized but maybe your solution of pulling the adapter out/in would have fixed it just as well.

BTW does anyone have any feedback on my observations about slow transfer rate and 'TCP Retransmission' causing audio played over the wireless network to glitch? Maybe I am the only one out there having this problem, or perhaps not many people are using this h/w version of the adapter yet?

I have run out of ideas myself, and are about to give up altogether on using wireless with Linux. My last ditch attempt to fix this will be to do a complete, clean install of Karmic. I will also leave pulseaudio enabled initially to see if that helps (in my Jaunty installation at the moment I have pulse disabled as it does not play well with the Boxee app I am running)
