Just to be clear on my rt2500pci comments and status:
1. For me, the speed problem went away entirely with the latest 10.04 kernel.
2. For me, the new problem of spamming the logs is solved with no performance penalty with
a small /etc/rc.local command.
3. Neither problem was more than a minor inconvenience once a work-around was discovered.
I'm always much more interested in a timely work-around than some grand fix.
That's because I'm more interesting in my present system doing my apps now.
I'll never understand all the programming details anyway.
I can imagine the collision between kernel programming and trying to deal with proprietary
wireless hardware may be very difficult, however.
You can get a feel for this by following the kernel-bug 13362 dialog.
