Just for your information: this two parameters do _not_ work - they both
seem to have no affect. ifup freezes the keyboard everytime I try to
connect my wlan-card.
But the badest thing is: after my last apt-upgrade no available rt2570
wlan-card-module can connect to the internet! A fiew days I could use a
daily build from the developers-website [1], but since my last upgrade
this doesn't work anymore. For now it's impossible for me to connect to
the internet with my amd64-machine - and that because there are only
smp-enabled linux-images out there for amd64.... very very bad!
