In the rt2x00 project we do have the early draft of the Specsheet for the first 2800pci devices. However this falls in the category of specsheets which is not yet publically published by Ralink, and hence we can't distribute it further. I've added Eddy Tsai to the recipientlist for this mail, he is the Ralink developer, and he might have a better idea on this issue. Eddy, we have an issue with rt2860 devices which are generating spurious interrupts, however how can we determine in our IRQ handler if the rt2860 generated the interrupt and not another device on the same IRQ line? In the driver released by Ralink the CSR is checked to see if any interrupt bit is set, and if nothing is set IRQ_HANDLED is returned. However this means we can return IRQ_HANDLED when the interrupt was triggered by another device as well. Is there a way to prevent rt2860 from firing spurious interrupts, or is there a better way to detect if rt2860 fired the interrupt?
