 I have a rt2500pci card

 I noticed that my wifi connection has slowed when stitching
from 2.6.29.1 to 2.6.29.4 (it is also slow on 30-rc6)
Also 2.6.27 (ubuntu) does not suffer it.

 I bisected and came to the following commit as the culprit

 I can test patches and if you need more info just ask.

$ git bisect good

    mac80211: fix basic rate bitmap calculation
    
    upstream commit: 7e0986c17f695952ce5d61ed793ce048ba90a661
    
    "mac80211: fix basic rates setting from association response"
    introduced a copy/paste error.
    
    Unfortunately, this not just leads to wrong data being passed
    to the driver but is remotely exploitable for some hardware or
    driver combinations.
