Yes, even when some rt2x00usb_vendor_request starts to fail but keeps
on trying, the WLAN modules remain unrecoverable except by removing
power, so the 10 retries are usually not reached and the device is
never removed. Could it be that some operations do succeed, perhaps
because the MCU was reset and is now capable of responding to some
"vendor requests" but not others?

STA?
Kind regards,
