I'm about to send 4 patches to this (linux-wireless) list with patches for rt2x00, most of them you already tested individually, but several people reported success after those patches. Hopefully it will be working for you as well. :) Ivo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
