Ralink RT2500 54g wireless for inclusion?

I have demonstrated this bug with a vanilla kernel.org kernel. I have found a similar blocking bug submitted on 20th February and appended a copy of the Debian bug. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4234 Given the severity of the bug, I am surprised it has survived two kernel versions.

I have compiled 2.6.11 with the latest kernel-image from svn. The problem still occurs with 2.6.11. Just a guess but Joerg Schilling maintains CDrecord and filed bug 301641 about kernel include files still inconsistent on sarge. Could this be related? Horms wrote: 2.6.10 isn't really being upd
