I fear they're a little too invasive for the 3.2-stable series[1], so I think the backport will need to be Debian-specific. Kernel team: please consider the following two patches[2] for sid: b6df7f1d3b05 rt2x00:Add debug message for new chipset 2ed7188447fd rt2x00:Add RT5372 chipset support The former makes it a little easier to debug unsupported chipsets, by printing which chipset a USB wireless interface uses. The latter adds support for a chipset not supported before, as used for example in Rob's DWA-140 rev.3. Hope that helps, Jonathan [1] See Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt if curious. If the code were a little more data-driven, it might have been feasible to include support for new chips like this in an upstream point release. But that's easy to say in hindsight.
