A few days ago i bought this usb wifi N adapter since i knew there were some unix driver sources for it. (http://homestore.cisco.com/en-us/Adapters/Linksys-AE1000-Wirelessn-connector_stcVVproductId97826164VVcatId551966VVviewprod.htm)
Followed a bit of "http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/56860-trying-to-compile-custom-v4l/" and "http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1353558" tho both guides were slightly outdated so a few things didnt work out right away, had to change a few lines in the kernel makefile just to have it compile what i needed (else it would error about infinite recursion, i cant remember exactly
).
edit: This is now a pnd, so just run it (double click on the pnd if you have pnd_utils), else put it on your menu folder or whatever. then you can chose to install/uninstall the kernel module.
The driver isnt perfect, there are issues with it like a few spam in dmesg, so at some point ill have a look at the community drivers (Rt2x00), but for now, this do the job for my needs. Unfortunatly, it doesnt seem to like the network manager very much (for some reasons, i could barely connect to g network with wep encryption, but even then it was reacting weird).
But disabling the network manager and using wpa_supplicant + iwconfig + dhclient allowed me to connect on my N network at 150mbit and finally get a stable wifi connection after all my issues with the built in one. now im limited by the sd speed when downloading but i can live with that =D.
also ping wise, im getting <1ms instead of the 40ms from the built in wifi. Ill still try to figure out how to squeeze some more stability out of my built in wifi on the other hand XD.
5ghz band doesnt seem to be supported by that driver, but i could be wrong (havent tested it).
oh yea forgot to precise, this driver should work for a lot of usb wifi stick using ralinktech chips. tho if they are more recent than the driver (like this one was), it needed the product code to be added to the driver, so if thats the case, you can either compile it yourself, or give me those codes and i can add them to that build since him already all configured anyway.
