Comment 28 for bug 539794

Full disclosure details:

lspci excerpt:
RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01)

cat /proc/version:
Linux version 2.6.32-22-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) ) #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010

/etc/rc.local excerpt:
#iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
iwconfig wlan0 power off

Comments relative to these noted details:

1. The 'rate problem' has been around for a long time; my need for the first rc.local
line has gone away with the kernel noted. I don't have a regression, I have an improvement.
2. The 'log spamming problem' has been around at least since ubuntu9.10; I first
noticed it in Lucid, but others reported a version of it in Bug 456977. It's being worked
on by the Kernel group, see Kernel Bug 13362. It's not a regression, per se. No
sense in recording this stuff.
3. AFAIK, 'power off' are just magic words to disable power management on the wlan,
management capabilities my hardware may not have. YMMV.
