All that I've been able to test with is an Intel 3945, temporarily placed in my 901. That seems fine anyway, and the patch doesn't affect it in any way. > Can't we fix that directly in rt2860sta ? Probably. One of us should bisect to see exactly where this happened; however, for me, this workaround will do until that's done or rt2800pci is working well enough (whichever happens first). And I think that I'd prefer the latter. -- | Darren Salt | linux at youmustbejoking | nr.
