This actually a longstanding problem - I have never gottenr rt2x00 driver to work reliably. It looks like it mostly works but often deauthenticates like in dmesg below. I have nerver had time to look more closely into it since when I'm using WiFi it's usually not a good time for debugging. Using 2.6.21 with Ralink vendor driver just works, so I boot into 2.6.21 when I'm in WiFi area. Using pc-card rt2500 from Canyon. What is the best way to debug this?
