Bug#506223: I can confirm that
I just wiped my etch installation and replaced it with a fresh lenny
installation. The installer auto-detected my wifi card and used the
rt2500pci driver.
By default it achieves:
- 1Mbps rate (as reported by iwconfig - I can only download at max.
~20KBps)
- approx "50% link quality"
When I manually set it to "rate 11M", the reported bit rate goes to 11M,
the real download speed improves by about 50% and the "link quality"
goes to about 70%, but it's still a far cry from what the card can
achieve.
It works just fine using ndiswrapper...
