2.6.32.2 -> 2.6.32.3 regression.  Hence the regression is probably in 2.6.33-rc.

Looking through the changelog I'd be suspecting

:     rt2x00: Disable powersaving for rt61pci and rt2800pci. :
:     commit 93b6bd26b74efe46b4579592560f9f1cb7b61994 upstream.

Mainly because I didn't spot any other change to that driver.

Krister, are you able to apply this reversion patch to 2.6.32.3 and see if it helps?

Thanks.
