rt73usb

Hi, i posted before asking about setting up netcfg2, then someone told me to use the "rt73usb" driver, so i did, and it works. What i was wondering is, if it is possible that it is lagging my computer, for example, when im downloading torrents or a package off pacman my computer (not my internet) lags like crazy, im fairly sure this didnt happen when i was using the serialmonkey driver. I dont want to change because this driver has compatibility with netcfg2, but i was wondering if anyone else experiences this, and if i can fix this (if it is in fact because of this driver)

Re: rt73usb

Hi, I am also using the rt73usb driver shipped with the 2.6.24.4 arch kernel and I don't have that problem. Maybe you have updated to the last version (2.6.25.4) and there's the issue, I don't know. I will update my kernel tonight or tomorrow, so I'll post another answer when I try it.

I have updated my system and after about 3 hours up it hasn't shown that problems.
