[WIFI] Slow connection after Kernel upgrade

Hi,

so, this is my problem: since the upgrade of my kernel from version 2.6.30 to version 2.6.31 just after the installation of Arch, my download rate has been divided by two.... (60 ko/s before, and 30 ko/s after)

I think the problem may be the driver of my wireless stick: rt2500usb. Unfortunatly, I haven't found any information about a problem with this driver and the Kernel 2.6.31....

If the problem is realy linked to the driver, what have I to do ?

Alternatively, what could be the problem ?

This is (I don't know if it's realy useful) the output of the command iwconfig:

[root@PC ~]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"wifi"

Thank you!
