Hi, I happen to have the good fortune of owning a RT2661S (ral driver) and a RT2601USB (rum driver) [manufactured by Canyon]. Both chipsets have the ability to handle two antenna. Now the good fortune, both chipsets default to the wrong antenna. When I should be getting a stable connection at about -70dBm instead I am getting very poor connection (less than 50% connectivity, reported from ping) and about -90dBm. After looking at the FreeBSD driver code (and the [Open/Net]BSD) the antenna selection is marked as *TBD*. Does anyone know how to add antenna selection (the ralink linux drivers are a wild maze). I considered trying to do it myself but I do not know the first thing about kernel hacking (let alone chipset drivers) and have no idea where to start. I was thinking a stop-gap solution will be to have the antenna selectable using tunables/sysctl? Needless to say I am very willing to try any patches (and even attempt to create one myself if someone could point me in the right direction...). Regards David P.S. Anyone know the release schedule for 6.4 and 7.1?
