Is the advice in this first result from a websearch “linux wireless excessive retries” helpful?
i tried those commands and they dont work in antix? am i missing something?
hello carlson,
You could also try the newer 4.20 64-bit kernel from synaptic (see attached pic)
You might also have to hit reload for it to show up.
as your “Ralink RT5390R” wifi chip is fairly new chip.
The newer driver might help.The “iwlwifi” commands are only for intel wifi chips
https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifihere is a github link that shows building the
module for the ralink 5390 chipi will refresh to see if the kernel pops up. i am a newbie to this stuff…..where/how would i get the new driver?
kind regards
MarkI would try the newer kernel first otherwise you would have to build the module
which is tricky if you have never done it before.I have a laptop with a 5390 wifi chip I could try later today and let you know
how it goes and write a detailed description if it works.
caprea
I would suggest to install the 4.20.0-antix1 kernel with the package-installer, not synaptic, package-installer will install the appropriate linux-headers , too.
thx caprea,
I totally spaced the headers….I forget that package-installer is there as I
usually use the terminal with apt and apt-get. I only popped up synaptic to
show the correct version numbers. I’m letting my other laptop charge while I make
a install usb stick and read about the driver.here’s my results from the 49 default kernel…I think something else is
going on because my speed is good on the rt2800 module driver. I noticed that your
post of iwconfig shows a real bad signal level at -33 dbm.
Are you too far from the router. I’ll try on the 4.19 kernel as that’s what the
package installer is showing and repost.It is definitly worth updating to the 4.19 patched kernel as my
speed went from 40Mbps to 70Mbps on speedtest.net
without changing anything else.
I’ll try the other module later on both kernels and compare the
findings.BTW to update the kernel on the usb you first open the control-centre in the
menu then go to the system tab and use the package installer option. From there
choosekernel-antiX_64bit_latest_meltdown-patched. After it finishes
installing close the package-installer but--don't reboot. Go to the live tab instead
and choose theremaster-custumize-liveoption and wait a few minutes for it to
finish then use thelive-usb kernel updateralso under live in the control-center
to update the usb stick. Choose theupdate vmlinuzoption. when you reboot choose the top option
from grub. It’s up to you whether to save personal or general when the custumize asks…I
don’t know what you changed…the personal saves the desktop and settings for next boot
and general don’t.my last edit got lost. anyway the newer kernel almost doubled my
speed from 40-70 without changing anything else.maybe have to be closer to the router as well. I noticed that the rt2800
driver has poor range on mine.

Some reports talk about changing the channel of the router.
Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
