The stats are the same as the test of the new firmware: PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=4.22 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=4.27 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=4.17 ms Those are better then kernel 2.6.39 with the old firmware tested with orieno alpha (which you see above) and very similar to what I get in the test of the "new" firmware on natty (see text output). md5sum /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin e4b60f5bb4980a26cbac32be690451d6 /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Wolfgang Kufner <
