I can confirm that iwconfig <DEVICE> rate 11M makes things work acceptable. However, the command iwconfig <DEVICE> rate 54M does _not_ improve things. So, mileage might vary and the measures required to get this going might vary as well. Who would be interested in a "smooth" integration of the commands above might download the attached script and do a insserv setwlanspeed This is a plaster for now, however, I still hope that the folks from the rx200-development team will find and fix this bug so the plaster is not required any more. Thanks for looking into this - and again, let me know which logfiles you need from yast - I always configure cards with yast if possible.

Some of the problems were fixed after 11.0 was released. Could you try the latest kernel from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/ and report whether the problem is still there? Just pick the correct architecture, download kernel-default.rpm and install it using rpm -i (don't use rpm -U). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Instead, I still see statements that rt2500pci has rate problems. I'm sorry I cannot fix that - it requires deep knowledge of both the hardware and the driver, both of which I lack. In fact, it seems it's not easy even if you have the knowledge - if it was, the upstream developers would fix that long time ago already. I'm afraid I cannot do anything at the moment. The only advice I have is to buy a card that is fully supported in Linux by its manufacturer next time, which obviously doesn't help you. Closing as WONTFIX, hopefully the situation will improve during time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, this time I come up at boot with a speed like 1M and can set it to 54M later on, giving me a decent speed and performance (10kByte/s download speed vs. 1.35 MByte/s download speed). The question arises now, how the default configuration is done and whether there is a missing initialization causing the speed of the devices to be so low initially. It is hard for me to tell whether this is a driver issue or a openSUSE issue, but maybe it can be tracked down somehow. The phyiscal distance between card and AP is roughly 4m, no metal no door, no wall in between the antenna of the AP and the antenna of the card (i. e. practically no distance ...). This cannot be the root cause for the problem.

Ivo van Doorn is one of the main developers. So, there is hope in the future, but everyone using rt2xx today needs a patch somewhere forcing the card to a fixed rate! Doesn't actually help but rises knowledge :-((( Hi, <...snip...>

iwconfig wlan<INTERFACE> rate 54M auto

now, speed will remain up for a while, then starts to go down step by step until the initial poor and inacceptable condition is met again: 1MB/s and apparently no signal strength. Weird.

Known issue, the driver has to be forced to a fixed bitrate. Could you try 2.6.29-rc2? I made a fix in there which I am hoping is the answer to this problem (But I haven't heard any testresults about it yet).

P.S. I readily sent this email this monday, but apparently it ended up in a big black electronic hole :-)

Just like every other mail send to rt2400-devel over the last 4 months. :( The spam filter was overacting and was filtering all mail. Ivo -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
