Indeed, the rt2800 driver works like a charm compared to the rt2860sta :) > However, many people still use squeeze. So I would be happy to see > the regression you discovered fixed.

I currently don't have enough disk space to accommodate such a setup, but will at least try with a live image or something similar. Back when I was affected I remember checking the different changes made to the driver, but they were all made in one big patchset that was added in a single commit, IIRC. HTH. I will anyway try to free up some space.
