I also have a Ralink adapter. But mine works perfectly. I'm getting good
speed and it is reliable!
What I can remember from when did my setup is that I had to specify
54Mbit to get optimal speed.
This is my hostname.ral0:
nwid xxxx media OFDM54 mode 11g
dhcp
And here is ifconfig:
ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0a:41:xx:xx:xx
groups: egress
media: IEEE802.11 OFDM54 mode 11g (DS1 mode 11g)
