I compiled vanilla 2.6.33.3 from source, and I'm able to connect to my WPA-secured network using the rt2860sta driver on my Eee 1000. The rt2800pci driver doesn't work, but the system prefers it over the staging driver and loads it automatically. I could've blacklisted it, but I just deleted rt2800pci.ko file from the /lib/modules tree instead.

I know a couple of other people affected by this bug who wouldn't be comfortable compiling their own kernels. It would be great to see this solved formally. What are the chances that a fix would make its way back into the 10.04 install ISO? Online updates aren't so helpful when you can't get online.
