Is this why the rt307x chips experience considerable amount of packet loss in managed mode, when connected to an AP? With the rt2870sta drivers and a rt3070 device I experience no packet loss whatsoever. When rt2800usb is being utilized, large amount of packet loss occurs between the client and AP as well as duplicate packets.
