I tried your suggestion of sending the command iwconfig ra0 mode Managed before issuing ifconfig ra0 up but this is not possible because you get this error message: "Error in wireless request "Set Mode" (8806) : SET failed on device ra0 ; Network is down". And did not change a thing. Next I tried to upgrade to latest version - 1.6.2.2, and still seeing the same behavior. Do you think it might be a bug in the rt2860sta driver?
To me it seems issuing the command "set mode" to the driver means the driver stops being responsive.
