[Bug 496093] Re: [lucid] rt2860 frequently fails to connect to mixed mode WPA/WPA2 secured wireless networks

[Ricardo Salveti]

Attached you can find the backported patch regarding the update of this
driver.

At mainline we have many other patches, but most are cosmetic changes,
to follow the kernel coding style.

This patch got into 2.6.33, and the original hash is
ca97b8388838ee9ea4b4bad04948f8f7f8a607a3 .

The only thing that changed regarding my patch is that I had to include
the change created by bug #441990.

Besides the patch being huge, it also updates the rt2870 as a side
effect, as most of the references inside rt2870 are pointing to rt2860.
We could backport just the rt2860 update, but than we would need to move
the current references from rt2860 at rt2870 inside the driver's
directory.

As this patch is already incorporated at mainline, I think that the work
to maintain the current rt2870 codebase is not worthy.

Tested this patch with rt2860 (ID 1814:0781, from EeePC 1000HE) and
wasn't able to reproduce the bug. It should worth a note that this
doesn't seems to fix the issue for 2870, as the comment #54 says.
