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).
