Hello Ben I finally got around to testing this, but it only resulted in a kernel oops (see attached log). I used the latest 2.6.37-rc5 package from experimental.
Do you know if the rt2870sta driver supports N/300Mbps operation? If yes it would be great if you could enable the staging driver again, or if not I might give the official Ralink driver another try.
