Package: firmware-ralink
Version: 0.27
Severity: normal

I have a Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7711UTn nLite Wireless Adapter [Ralink RT2870]
adapter that is supposed to be a wireless n adapter, but I am only able to get a maximum speed of 54Mbps suggesting it is only running at G speeds

Here is the output of iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     Ralink STA  ESSID:"Bayly Network"  Nickname:"RT2870STA"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.457 GHz  Access Point: 00:23:69:82:F5:AC
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:46E3-AA0D-9B37-26ED-6E53-D43C-BAF0-A3BC
          Link Quality=77/100  Signal level:-51 dBm  Noise level:-83 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

The adapter is connected to a wireless n Access Point and I can confirm that the adapter is capable of achieving those speeds on windows XP.

Please let me know if you need any other information

Thanks,
Lawrence Bayly

The rt2800usb driver has replaced rt2870sta in later kernel versions,
and should support 802.11n.  You can install the new kernel version from
the testing suite or squeeze-backports (linux-image-3.2.0-2-686-pae or
linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae).
