Thanks Dries, I was about to suggest that we got in touch with Ralink, as they will need to OK the patch and then try and get it upstream as the rt2860 chip seems to be spring up in so many cards and net/laptops now. So important that this driver is getting close to going in to mainline kernel it needs to be working very well indeed if linux is going to grow. We really dont need people being forced back to old kernels, esp with things like KMS coming to the fore

The same reason I junked my old 802.11G card based on the rt2500pci, great support but the card was too old to be really maintained and inproved. At least with this card I am at full speed, full signal strengh and with WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption.

and all it took (potentially) was one variable change in a C file.........
