[Bug 492855] Re: rt61pci drops connection and cannot reconnect to WPA2 wireless network

[Andrew]

After the problem occurs, I cannot get it to work again without
rebooting the computer. Doing an ifdown and ifup just causes the errors
in the dmesg ifup log that I attached. If I "modprobe -r rt61pci", the
wlan0 goes away as expected, but does not come back if I re-load the
driver (modprobe rt61pci).

This is very severe as I currently am unable to get ndiswrapper to work
with the card and the ralink drivers no longer compile due to kernel
changes ("struct net_device has no..." errors). As such I am left
without a working ethernet connection. This is my mythtv box so
rebooting it is not a good option as it is potentially recording
programs, and if I reboot while my receiver is off, the HDMI out is not
enabled and the mythtv boots with the wrong resolution.

This used to be very stable with Gutsy.
