RaLink's vendor drivers have always behaved "funny" in the past, is 
this still an issue with rt2800pci (>= 2.6.36 upstream, apparently 
2.6.38 in Debian - but please try 3.0 from testing/ unstable; several 
locking bugs have been fixed in kernel 3.1, so it might make sense to 
try 3.1-rc7~ from experimental as well)?
