Hi Jonathan,
I must say I'm impressed with your response time.
I did as you said (however I must say I had to hack some Debian
scripts in order to get parallel compilation - -j flag - working. By
default it wasn't passed down and exporting didn't seem to work, so I
hardcoded that. But never mind).
With the attached patch my network adapter started working. Amount of
debug messages is small, especially compared to ra5370sta. Network
adapter name has changed from ra0 to wlan0. I don't remember if it
started working automatically, as I've executed modprobe and echo >
new_id right after startup. I guess it started working automatically,
as dmesg printed things quite early:

What next? Are there chances to get this patch applied to Debian? Will
these patches will be merged upstream (I couldn't find commit ids in
gitweb for Linux kernel main trunk)? Do you need more info?
Best regards,
Robert
