Ok. I tried, apparantly modprobe.conf is deprecated. So, I created
/etc/modprobe.d/mac80211.conf with:
options mac80211 ieee80211_default_rc_algo=pid
but that doesn't work; dmesg still shows minstrel is used.
Putting the same line in modprobe.conf gives the same result; minstrel is
still used.
Bit of a newbie here; never changed modprobe.conf, so I am unsure whether
adding anything to that file still works since it is deprecated and if not
what the filename in /etc/modprobe.d/ should be...
Perhaps it helps to know that the iwconfig output is also rather minimal:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID: [esside deleted]
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: [mac address
deleted]
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key: [key deleted]
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
So no link quality, signal level and noise level indicated and the Bit Rate
is not correct; I get speeds that fit with 24 Mb/s or higher...
So something weird is happening with this setup here.
Relevant part of dmesg (mac address of AP masked):
usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel'
zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: phy0

Any clues?

Subject: Re: [zd1211-devs] Problem with MTU > 500
Hmm, the default(?) is 1500 - MTU=500 is way too low for normal usage.
since zd1211rw is also a mac80211 driver, can you give the pid modprobe.conf
a try to see if it helps? See
