Bug#468422: rt73-source: "SIOSSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument" on 2.6.24 kernel

[Sven Joachim]

Package: rt73-source
Version: 1:1.0.3.6-cvs20071123-dfsg1-3
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream

Today I tried out a self-built 2.6.24 kernel, and "ifup wlan0" failed
with the message "SIOSSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument".  The issue had been
discussed upstream on
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4558, and the
serialmonkey developers fixed the problem, as I can confirm.

Kudos for your update-orig.sh script, I used that to build a new Debian
package.  Unfortunately, the patch 002_fix_probe_crash.diff did not
apply any more, so I disabled it for the moment.  But otherwise the
driver seems to work fine, I'm using it right now for my Internet
connection. :-)

BTW, bug #462831 (load average 2.0 or higher) seems to be fixed as well:

,----
| $ uptime
|  21:32:24 up 17 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.06, 0.08

It would be great if you could package a new CVS snapshot.
