Therefore ever since version 2.6.38-2, Debian kernels have had powersaving disabled on rt2800usb devices. I think we should revisit this in light of v3.0-rc2~7^2~16^2~190 rt2x00: Add autowake support for USB hardware (2011-04-30) though I wouldn't be surprised if testing ends up revealing some followup patches introduced after v3.2 to be needed for it to work well. What do you think?
