I had to do this in the reverse order, but then it worked. "lsmod | grep rt2"
came up blank.

This brought me back t othe same place as before, with the same long list of
things from lsmod. And the problems were
the same, i.e. no sign of the 802.11n network, and uselessly slow connection
speed on the 802.11g.
I assume its the same thing, but i have a directory in a Samba share, and when i
try to go into it its incredibly slow,
like 30 seconds before an "ls" responds. Its instant when i am connected with
Ethernet.
What to try now? Thanks!
