This could be the same issue I reported in
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-October/002152.html
with compat-wireless-2.6.36-rc3-1.

I had to do other work and couldn't follow up on this issue, but I'll
try to reproduce it later today.

BTW, if I want to test the current rt2x00 git version with a 2.6.32 kernel,
like outlined in "Testing with compat-rt2x00"
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2010-October/002175.html
can I base it on stable compat-wireless or do I need to use a
compat-wireless based on linux-next (aka bleeding edge)?
What do rt2x00 developers use?


Thanks
Johannes
