Hi,

Tested that patch:

1. The driver no longer automatically loads, I had to manually modprobe it.
2. After loading, I get this (keep getting these)

[  384.618523] phy0 -> rt2800_txdone: Error - Data pending

No crash yet, but bad ping again too (always with the rt2800usb) driver:

(Have another machine, testing the carl driver kernel 3.0 on it)

Not having too much luck there either.
