Unfortunately during that time a lot of rt2x00 patches went into
wireless-testing. However, there's one suspicious commit that touches the
relevant code: "rt2x00: Merge rt2800{pci/usb} radio enabling/disabling code
to rt2800lib".
This is again a shot in the dark but worth a try. Could you please revert this
commit [1] from the newer compat-wireless tarball and try if it fixes the "DMA
Busy" issue?
Thanks Joshua,
Helmut
