First off, sorry for resurrecting such and old post.
Other than the following entries in the changelog, I've not heard anything on
this issue:
4.8 - Added suspend/resume support for PCI ral(4) devices.
4.8 - Fixed bug in hostap mode for the Ralink RT2860, RT3090, RT3390, RT3562
chipset driver.
4.9 - Prevent run(4), rum(4), urtw(4) and ral(4) from adding timeouts if the
driver is dying and improved detaching.
Anyone know if there has been any work, as mentioned above, on this
particular
problem?
thanks.
