Thanks Greg,

really nice work. Good to hear it is fixed in linux-next. I also don't see a reason to file an upstream bug anymore.

I have looked a little bit at the commits that might have fixed this[1]. Could you maybe try the following two compat-wireless versions:

http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2011-02-10.tar.bz2
This one I expect to work, as it has the rather big patchset by Helmut Schaa converting interrupt handling to use tasklets, which I think is the most likely candidate.

http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2011-01-20.tar.bz2
Most likely this one will freeze. It has just the patch by Ralink's Jay Hung "rt2x00: Fix radio off hang issue for PCIE interface". Would be easy to port if this were what fixes it.

Are you using the compat-wireless module for normal work now? Any other problems with it? I am thinking of advertising the fact that it is working now with compat-wireless in other relevant launchpad bugs so that it sees more widespread testing. With your detailed explanation in comment 25 I think everyone with a minimum of command line experience can do it.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
