I had been using 2.3.31-17 so tried upgrading to 2.6.32 but still can't
get more than 1Mb/s through my 10Mb/s Internet connection.

@papukaija - I can believe the rt2500pci kernel module is providing
adequate support for some devices - but not certainly not for my RaLink
PCI card.

Details of my configuration below. Also more than happy to provide more
information if required.

p...@locke:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-020632-generic

p...@locke:~$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"174A"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.442 GHz  Access Point: 00:14:7C:B6:14:C8   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off *

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

* Note: I have had to disable power management due to this bug:

Saying that, regardless of whether I enable or disable it I still get the poor 
throughput.
