Hi pluggers,<br><br>I have a TP-LINK WN-321G wireless USB adapter, which uses the RaLink RT73 chipset.<br>I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 amd64. By default, the wireless adapter is detected by Ubuntu and it uses the 'rt73usb' module natively.<br>
<br>I was having all sorts of throughput issues with that (sometimes you could transfer at 20k/sec and others at 200k/sec, it was a real PITA).<br><br>Since then, I've resorted to using ndiswrapper and the Windows XP64 drivers for this chipset. It works, and no more throughput issues. However, it just stops working whenever it feels like it.<br>
I could be happily browsing the net and all of a sudden it stops. The only way that I can figure out so far to fix it, is simply to reboot. Restarting networking or ndiswrapper does nothing.<br><br>Has anyone every come across something as bizzare as this? I have to reboot my machine anywhere between 1 and 3 hours just to maintain an internet connection. The router is over the other side of the house :(<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Blake<br>
