I've reverted the patch by hand - the original patch on linux-wireless doesn't match the present state of the code
in rt61pci.c and I'm not a git user. I'm pretty sure I've got it right, however.

Problem now is that we are back where we were a few weeks ago because my wireless connection dies
almost immediately after I start the download and from dmesg I see:

phy0 -> rt2x00pci_write_tx_data: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 2.
Please file bug report to http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.
