I'll give this driver one more chance (quickly) and let you know if it crashes
afterwards (usually crashes in 5-10 minutes), but most likely I am going to
move over to some other wireless usb sticks, got a couple think penguin usb
wifi sticks that use the carl driver, 'open source' wireless usb sticks, 
going to give them a try next.

Also got some other ones as well, hopefully one of them will work without
900ms of lag.  The rt2870sta was the best driver in 2.6.38.x series that I
have ever used for wireless USB sticks.

Justin.
