After a bunch more poking, it found that 2.6.32-3 and 2.6.32-4 didn't work on the machine anymore either, so I started suspecting other things. Turns out network-manager showed every device as unmanaged. Somehow a new version of network-manager included a new config file, but it was left as .dpkg-new and changing to the new one made network-manager start managing connections again. Now 2.6.32-5-amd64 version 2.6.32-21 is working fine with the rt2860sta for me with the latest network-manager packages (from squeeze) installed and with up to date default config.
The difference that seemed to fix things was the change in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf from managed=true to managed=false. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
