There were promises made in this thread?  Then I must have read a
different mailinglist or so.

I do not know why your WLAN regression has not been fixed yet, but at
least it seems rather plausible why commit
7e0986c17f695952ce5d61ed793ce048ba90a661 is not going to be reverted (if
such a revert is the one-liner that you are referring to).

Why is one reporter's rt2500 OK now though but not yours?  Are there
different card revisions or firmwares out there that require quirk handling?
