But my understanding of this is that there is a bug in rt2860sta which
was solved (supposedly) correctly in 2.6.32-rc7, so our workaround in
eeepc-laptop was supposed to be reverted, as it caused problems for
non-rt2860 systems, and the bug fix in rt2860sta itself was all that
was needed.  So this changelog, in and of itself, should not be
alarming.

That being said, if the kernel still panics ... bleah ...  I thought we
had this all worked out.  Did the rt2860sta fix somehow miss the cut
for rc7?
