(Get the code!)
Confirming that the workaround right at the top of the bug report works for me:
Add the following to /etc/rc.local
rfkill unblock wifi
rfkill unblock all
modprobe -r acer-wmi
However, as the OP points out, the network speed is horrible. It will stay at max. throughput for a while but will then drop down to less than 1Mbps after a time. This appears random - sometimes it will stay at max for anything up to ~20-30minutes but at others it happens almost straight after boot...
I have found this post on the rt2x00 team's forum:

...which confirms the behaviour with the "rt2500pci" driver - it obviously affects rt2800pci too...
For me (also using a Lenovo S205 which has the RT3090 card), Markus' Natty DMKS driver for rt3090sta *doesn't* work.
It builds, installs and appears to be servicing the WLAN card, but I cannot scan for any networks (either with Network Manager or iwlist via CLI) nor add any manually.
