Hi Seth, nice seeing you here :-)
Since the pci firmware is also updated in your test package I did a couple of tests with my RT2860 pci card on live systems. No regressions were spotted. The rt2800pci driver has measurably progressed since earlier releases: I wanted to do some testing on older releases because I think a SRU at least for lucid should be considered. It is still supported for the next 22 month and "we regularly want to enable new hardware" on LTS releases. The compat-wireless packages for lucid will suffer from the exact same bug here. However, on natty and lucid rt2860sta did not work out of the box, so no easy regression-testing with live systems. It also shows the value of having the new drivers available through compat-wireless packages. Test results: Natty: no problems found in short testing with browsing and iperf -c (>70 Mbit/s) with: DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty (live) 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp.
