Testing to see what happens on debian:
in summary:
aptosid (debian sid based live CD) with 2.6.35 kernel also shows the load
firmware error in 64 bit and does not show that error in 32 bit.
_______
Details, only for reference:
aptosid keres live 64 bit
Linux aptosid 2.6.35-4.slh.9-aptosid-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 13 16:28:34
UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
comes with rt2800pci
no rt2860sta in
/lib/modules/2.6.35-4.slh.9-aptosid-amd64/kernel/drivers/staging/
did not see firmware load error. not on loading of the stock driver nor after
loading the compiled driver. But I did see this after trying to scan with Ceni:

there is no firmware for this in /lib/firmware
copying firmware from maverick:
scan again:

Error - PBF system register not ready.
interpretation: unlike ubuntu with NetworkManager aptosid keres does not
do as much without explicitly being told to. only if I scan does it even
try to get firmware. so I have to put firmware in and scan. then i see
whether it works. it does not. same problem.

cold boot with same CD:
same results with stock rt2800pci. first rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error -

___________________________________________
have seen that before. iirc whenever rt2860sta loaded the firmware and I tried
rt2800pci after a warm reboot. so here the firmware came late. Would it have
worked if the firmware had already been there? if I had avoided any
rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error?
No. Tried that. Avoiding that error by copying firmware earlier did not
change behaviour.
