What kernel are you using ?*I* sent your previous patches to stable because you apparently couldn't be bothered. I know which models you have blacklisted and the 900A is not one of them.
I'm curious as to why this is only now an issue with 900A, as it seems to be a recently developed problem (900A is an older model, supported on 2.6.26 since lenny, provided you use the rt2860 module for wifi from non-free and atl1e from main). Do we think this is because newer editions of this model have a newer BIOS? And in that case, is our approach wrong? Should we be focusing on model at all, or on BIOS version?
