Hi Jim,

Apologies for the slow reply.

Hmm, that's not good. The inference there is that v2.1.2.0 of the 
(upstream) driver works but v2.2.0.0 doesn't (assuming I've not messed 
up the build in any way).

Should we revert back to a build based on v2.1.2.0 but with 
/etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat included?
