I have an Airlink AWLL6080 (Ralink 2870). Is there any native work for
this chipset? I've tried ndiswrapper with an XP driver, but that only
connects in G mode.
There are native drivers by Ralink for this chipset on their website.
[1]. I don't know how well they work, though. Maybe the rt2x00-project
will work on this once the current rt2x00 drivers are completely finished.

NDISWrapper should also support 802.1n, so start a new thread in the
NDISWrapper support forum [2], if you need additional help.

Andreas, thanks for the tips. I didn't know about the native Ralink 
driver for the 2870. I've gone ahead an built it and tested it.

The access point can be either in b/g/n mode or N only mode. In b/g/n 
mode it connects at G. In N only mode it doesn't connect.

iwconfig doesn't have a "modu" parameter for 11n, so I don't force a 
modulation from the Linux side. Should I be somehow?
