[rt2570] Linksys WUSB54GP v4 freezes system/looses mouse & keyboard

[MJo]

Rt2570 modules hangs the system.

I'm using Dapper Drake Flight5 amd64 live cd. I installed it permanently to the harddisk.

I see rt2570 module loaded without any user actions, great indeed. Story continus.. when I disable normal LAN and try to activate rausb0 with this default graphical Network-tool, system freezes totally.

Most probably problems arise because of 64-bit system used. (I never managed to get this working with Breezy amd64, ndiswrapper cvs version almost got there but 64-bit windoze drivers aren't available)

I can provide more system details later if needed. I think this is nothing so uncommon with 64-bit system+wlan usb, done lot of googling related to this(?)

I tried to ping rausb0 and eth0 interfaces. Both responded for ping (used separate ip adds of course). Then via GUI I Deactivated eth0 and let rausb0 to be only active IF and pressed "Ok". After that system freezes and both ip addresses aren't reachable.
