** Description changed:

  In final maverick 64 bit live the WLAN does not become operational. The
  Network Manager Applet says: "Wireless networks disconnected". The log
  says: "phy0 ->  rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error - PBF system register not
  ready.".
  
  This also happens on the 2.6.36rc8 mainline kernel in a current installed maverick.
  Also happens there with compat-wireless-2010-10-20.
+ Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on lucid 64bit. It can connect. (Ping is 1000-25000ms though.)
+ Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on maverick 32 bit live (ping went from good to 1000ms there within a minute after connecting, however.)
  
  This does not happen on the 32 bit version (also live) where WLAN works
  (out of the box) just as well as with the rt2860sta.
  
  This does not happen on Fedora 14 beta live 64bit. (I achieved a
  respectable 10Mb/s with iperf in ad hoc mode with the rt2800pci.
  rt2860sta is not included.)
  
  Reproducibility: high
  best keep the competing rt2860sta from loading with the entry "install rt2860sta /bin/false" in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/;
  maverick also comes with the rt2860sta module which will often load and get used if it is just blacklisted ("blacklist rt2860sta");
