Hi Rod,

These are other issues (not related to rt2800pci)

The kernel i was building contains the rt2800pci patch (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/80759). Until now that patch is NOT upstream or in any other distro-kernels) so i decied to build a kernel with that patch by using the latest ubuntu-kernel. That patch *should* fix slow connections AND kernel-panics and is also in the newest drivers you mentioned. But because ubuntu is using the kernel-drivers, we are facing that problems until the kernel is patched or you are using the new drivers.

Unfortunately i dont have amd64 hardware here. So i cant built the kernel for amd64, just i386.

If someone has a hint how to build amd64 kernel on an i386-cpu without amd64 instructions, i will build it also and provide it here
