Hi Stefan,

I've got a few minutes so I booted back in 2.6.24-11 (yes, 11, I'm the
one on a gutsy with hardy kernel, and at the moment really I'm running
a very custom .25-rc7; btw I'm sure it doesn't make any difference)

I'm afraid there is still a little problem I can't figure out how to
fix myself, which prevents the driver to load successfully (so we
still don't know if it will even work)

dmesg reports a failure in initialization because it can't load rate algorhithm

Apr 4 23:58:18 localhost kernel: [ 40.189338] phy0: Failed to
select rate control algorithm
Apr 4 23:58:18 localhost kernel: [ 40.189344] phy0: Failed to
initialize rate control algorithm
Apr 4 23:58:18 localhost kernel: [ 40.256640] phy0 ->
rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to initialize hw.
Apr 4 23:58:18 localhost kernel: [ 40.256682] ACPI: PCI interrupt

Apr 4 23:58:18 localhost kernel: [ 40.256695] rt61pci: probe of
0000:00:06.0 failed with error -2

the directives i have in my working .config looks the same that you
pass via config so I don't know where the problem might be, otherwise
I would provide a patch

I hope this helps
