rt2500usb broken since 2.6.29

Hello,
rt2500usb is broken since kernel 2.6.29. It has been discussed before but
never solved:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4834
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484888

I have Asus WL-167G and it really does not work. Scanning works, association
too but no packets can be sent (looks like receive works because tcpdump
shows packets from other machines). DHCP fails (No DHCPOFFERS received).

The problem is caused by this patch:

rt2x00: Implement HW encryption (rt2500usb)
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=dddfb478b26e29a2b47f655ec219e743b8111015

Removing it from 2.6.29 restores the functionality.
