I did, both read and recompile ... no good.

I put:
ral0 at pci0:0:11:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x3a711186 chip=0x03021814 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
    device     = 'RT2525 2.4GHz transceiver + RT2560 MAC/BBP wireless a/b'
    class      = network

on there, no good also. is slow in the beginning, and then dies forever.

I tried on a 950MHz duron and got the same results (atheros card only).
unfortunately I can't test this duron anymore as it died from bad PSU.

what made atheros happy was a Core 2 Duo, 2.66GHz at work. faster
downloads and no even one of those lines :(

too bad I just have an AthlonXP I can use as AP :(
and soekris in future would be a way, now I think is slow as well ...

thanks,
