3.0: rt2800usb(Kernel PANIC) vs. rt2780sta(GOOD/2.6.38)

[Justin Piszcz]

Hi,

Kernel 3.0 (rt2800usb driver- horrid, and then it panics moments after, 
see picture below)
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=301 ttl=64 time=146 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=302 ttl=64 time=274 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=303 ttl=64 time=197 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=304 ttl=64 time=115 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=305 ttl=64 time=243 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=306 ttl=64 time=265 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=307 ttl=64 time=183 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=308 ttl=64 time=201 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=309 ttl=64 time=236 ms

Then it crashes if you use the network:

With the rt2870sta driver, the machine has been solid for months (2.6.38) 
with consistent low pings:

64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=1.38 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.520 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=1.11 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.573 ms
64 bytes from atomw.internal.lan (192.168.0.2): icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=0.562 ms

Can we please get the rt2870sta back into the kernel?

If not, can someone recommend a USB wireless stick that works in Linux 
that is not based on RALINK that does not crash the kernel and gets as 
good as pings as the one I have (most highest rated on Amazon that 
everyone seems to buy) with the rt2870sta driver?
