The description now says "Sometimes the new rt2800pci does not work as
well as the rt2860sta."

Agreed, but isn't "does not work as well" understating the situation?
rt2800pci is marked experimental.

See line 66 and following on the Kconfig for the driver:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git;a=blob;f=drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig;h=eea1ef2f502bd3c926599b2308901277e35250ef;hb=d75c265c3e4edf33049e0b70ff2de6830308d94e

In the 'config RT2800PCI" stanza, it says, 'This driver is non-
functional at the moment and is intended for developers.  When compiled
as a module, this driver will be called "rt2800pci.ko".'

(If I'm operating git correctly, that link refers to a tag of the 2.6.35
kernel release.)

Point is, perhaps the solution is to simply turn off this config option
when configuring the kernel.
