slow wireless connection (rt2800pci)
Wireless on x64 fedora 20 using the rt2800pci driver is ..hacky/slow/kinda bad. I've seen different posts claiming it is a known bug and is fixed, yet the issue persists.
On Ubuntu (13.10 & 14.04) the connection seems better for some reason. Thoughts?
What kernel you are using ? post the results of
uname -r. Maybe you need to install a newer kernel, where this problem is likely being fixed.There are a large number of sites offering speed tests. Get results from the same site under Fedora and Ubuntu and post them here as a comment so that we can see how much of a difference there is. And, just to make sure, if you're having trouble loading websites, are you using the same browser and version on all distros? If not, that might be what's making the differerence.
Kernel:
3.15.4-200.fc20.x86_64FireFox:Mozilla Firefox 30.0speedtest.net download: 30mbpsTry to unload the module and then load it with
nohwcrypt=Yoption. As root ,modprobe -rvf rt2800pci, thenmodprobe rt2800pci nohwcrypt=Y. Check the speed again.Speed is down to 15mbps.
