Thanks.

I'm surprised that wake-on-wlan is enabled by default for you --- is
that a BIOS setting?

In any event, the rt2800pci driver does not know how to handle the
wake-on-wlan bit, and that is a deficiency relative to the Windows
driver.  I'd recommend getting in touch with the upstream developers
at us...@rt2x00.serialmonkey.com to work on implementing it.  Please
cc either me or this bug log when doing so so we can track it.  They
may ask you to read registers set by the Windows driver or to test
patches.  Once a patch has been accepted upstream, we can apply it.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
