In kernel version 2.6.26-rc9 my wireless LAN card worked; but in the released 2.6.26, my RaLink rt2500 card wouldn't associate. Git-bisect led me to this patch: 61486e0f68d1f8966c09b734566a187d42d65c54 rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc() I believe that there is a problem with that patch --- it (inadvertantly) removes an extra line of code, that used to set the DATABYTE_COUNT field. This patch reinstates that line, and with it my card works again.
