OK, i did give this a try (though i worry about doing stuff like this; 
running a bleeding-edge kernel isnt what i want to be doing). No problem
installing the kernel, and the system came back up, but the wireless
card wasnt up. When i try to bring it back up i get:

$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error

And for this event dmesg shows:

[  586.402397] phy0 -> rt2800_wait_wpdma_ready: Error - WPDMA TX/RX busy, aborting.
[  586.402403] phy0 -> rt2800pci_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 4 (-5).

Since all the things that come up when i google that are from people 
talking about kernel debugging, i think that using this kernel may not
be on the right track :-(

Any other ideas? Im really not trying to do anything fancy, i just want 
wireless to work!

Thanks.
