Hi aniguenni
Maybe you can find some helpful info here:
https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb
I recommend you to buy an usb-wifi with the Atheros 9271 chipset
if you want no Problems.( ath9k -driver is present in Sz- 4.0, only firmware
is required (also available for 4.0)
Good Luck

I have two news for you, a one bad and one unless:
the first driver or module on kernel 2.6.37 can not compile (error invalid module format)
the other with the kernel 3.9.5 I get the module, but I do not know if it works.
The choice is yours

Hi aniguenni
Q:what do you mean with "broken down"?..connection lost but usb-wifi is still on
or a completely power off (lights out)
A first aid:
pull the USB wifi out, wait a moment, and plug it in again, open a Terminal, su to root and type
/etc/init.d/network.sh start
do you see any error messages?..which?

after turning off the pc and reboot, the adapter and the network appeared again, but always with very poor quality (between 0/100 and max. 23/100, while my lifebook shows always min. 65/100). the signal strength shows around 86% - 88%.
i think there is a problem about the wifi adapter itself?
for a moment i could reach the internet. but the connection is very slow. can this happen because of the usb 1.1 version?

Hi aniguenni
regarding the Allnet-specs it should work with usb 1.1.
but as it is such a mini-thing there is not much room for a good antenna.
I often had the problem with dissapearing/not responding usb-devices (usb 1.1) if the Motherboard couldn't provide a stable 5 volt (+- 0.25v) and 500mA usb-power.
With an extra usb 2.0 card everything was fine.
well, you can connect to the net, so I'm assuming that the credentials
in your network.conf are correct.
hmm .. to be honest, at the moment I have no further ideas..sorry.
