I have D-LINK DWA-123 wireless USB stick. It seems that the driver used is rt2800usb:

The connection is very slow, up to 100kB/s. Is there a way to fix this?

uname -a
Linux laptop 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

EDIT:
I've just tried installing new kernel:

uname -a
Linux linux 3.3.0-030300rc4-generic #201202181935 SMP Sun Feb 19 00:44:42 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The problem stays the same.
