==Info==<br />
Using Kubuntu 9.04<br />
<br />
To be able to get the driver (.inf) from the download, I had to<br />
install it on a Windows-machine, and then find the driver in:<br />
<br />
C:/Windows/Program Files/RALINK/RT6x Wireless LAN Card/Installer/WINXP<br />
<br />
Maybe possible to find the driver that way using WINE.<br />
<br />
Tried to use cabextract, unshield etc, but could only find the .inf<br />
file this way.<br />
<br />
Then the only thing I had to do was to add the .inf file in "ndisgtk",<br />
and blacklist the rt2500pci driver which is the kernel default.<br />
<br />
The reason I chose to try ndiswrapper was because the rt2500pci kernel<br />
driver sucks for my card (goes to 1 Mb/s on auto and then I get like 8<br />
Kb/s, have to force it to 54 Mb/s, and then I get around 2 Mb/s max,<br />
but the biggest problem was that it disconnected all the time, and I<br />
tried all encryptions and channels, and it was really sensitive to<br />
what channel I used with no other networks nearby). The kernel driver<br />
(then called rt2500) worked fine some years ago when I bought it.<br />
Ndiswrapper works 100% perfect so far. Better signal strength, does<br />
not disconnect at all, and goes automatically to 54 Mb/s, even though<br />
I am far away from the AP. Great!<br />
