Larry, did you notice that rt2x00/mt_linux.c does not have a GPL header?

That is the downside of using a vendor driver. I can try to help, sorry for a late response. George, can you try https://github.com/kuba-moo/mt7630e ? This is a slightly cleaned up version of the vendor driver V3.14_20140625_v2. I run it for a few hours and I cannot reproduce the issue you describe. -- 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
