Thanks for the responses from Peter and others.
The CAVEAT seems only to apply to the USB variant - mine is a PCI:
# dmesg| grep ral0
ral0 at pci0 dev 15 function 0 "Ralink RT2560" rev 0x01: irq 5,
address 00:13:d3:6a:bb:9d
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2560 (rev 0x04), RF RT2525
I've tried setting specific media types rather than autoselect but if
anything this reduces throughput. I also have an aftermarket high-
gain antenna fitted. Are there any other suggestions readers can offer?
Thanks in advance,
Damon

which the ssh client is operating).
It's sort of a known problem I'm afraid. it sounds like you're stuck
on a suboptimal mode, and ral doesn't really know how to fix
that. It's under CAVEATS at the end of the ral(4) man page.
