Hello!
Recent changes in wireless-testing have broken WEP support in rt61pci.
An older kernel from wireless-testing identified as 2.6.34-rc5-wl is
working fine.
I'm using an x86_64 system. The device is
Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g [1814:0302]
The device is in managed mode. I'm using WEP with a 40-bit key (I
know it's ridiculously insecure, but it's not my choice). With the
current kernel, the association works, but no traffic is received by
the station.
That's the relevant part of .config:
CONFIG_RT2X00=m
# CONFIG_RT2400PCI is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500PCI is not set
CONFIG_RT61PCI=m
CONFIG_RT2800PCI_PCI=y
# CONFIG_RT2800PCI is not set
# CONFIG_RT2500USB is not set
# CONFIG_RT73USB is not set
# CONFIG_RT2800USB is not set
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_PCI=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB=m
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_FIRMWARE=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_LEDS=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_RT2X00_DEBUG=y
arc4 support is compiled as a module and it's loaded. I haven't seen
anything unusual in the kernel log.
Curiously, I'm seeing some interesting warnings with the working
kernel (2.6.34-rc5-wl). They don't appear immediately, as you can see
from the timestamps:

It's should be rather straightforward to bisect, but I'll be away from
that system until next Monday.
