Hi, Kernel 3.0 (rt2800usb driver- horrid, and then it panics moments after, see picture below) 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=301 ttl=64 time=146 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=302 ttl=64 time=274 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=303 ttl=64 time=197 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=304 ttl=64 time=115 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=305 ttl=64 time=243 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=306 ttl=64 time=265 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=307 ttl=64 time=183 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=308 ttl=64 time=201 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=309 ttl=64 time=236 ms Then it crashes if you use the network: http://home.comcast.net/~jpiszcz/20110727/photo.JPG With the rt2870sta driver, the machine has been solid for months (2.6.38) with consistent low pings: 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=1.38 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.520 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=1.11 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.573 ms 64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=0.562 ms Can we please get the rt2870sta back into the kernel? If not, can someone recommend a USB wireless stick that works in Linux that is not based on RALINK that does not crash the kernel and gets as good as pings as the one I have (most highest rated on Amazon that everyone seems to buy) with the rt2870sta driver? http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-Wireless-Adapter-802-11n-Compatible/dp/B002RM08RE Justin.
