Title:
  Performance of rt2800usb module in 3.5.0 abysmal (used by RT3072
  chipset)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After switching from linux-image-3.2.0-37 to linux-image-3.5.0-23, I
  noted the performance of my wireless network became awful (~1/10th of
  my regular ~3 Mbps). Several reboots and crosschecks with other
  devices confirmed that the kernel is to blame.

  My wireless device: 
  Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter

  The driver stack used under both kernels:
  rt2800usb              22773  0 
  rt2800lib              58967  1 rt2800usb
  crc_ccitt              12707  1 rt2800lib
  rt2x00usb              20808  1 rt2800usb
  rt2x00lib              55326  3 rt2800usb,rt2800lib,rt2x00usb
  mac80211              506862  3 rt2800lib,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
  cfg80211              205774  2 rt2x00lib,mac80211

  Of course I googled and came across topics such as
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/131768/dlink-wireless-dwa-140-speeds-
  are-crippled-on-12-04, where it is adviced to switch to the (older?)
  rt5370sta. I tried that and although the driver installs, loads and
  even connects to my accesspoint just fine, it subsequently immediately
  freezes the 3.5 kernel.
