What is the state of the rx2x00 driver by now?  I have been playing
around with an rt2500 based card, with some success but not enough for
me to switch over from wired ethernet yet on my machine.  I used to get
lots of hard lockups, but with the latest cvs snapshot in debian's
rt2x00-source package, it no longer seems to lockup.  It also now works
with WPA without using wpa_supplicant (Yay!  Good work.), it does
however very frequently pause the transfer, and then after a while (20
or 30 seconds probably) it will start moving data again and my transfer
will continue.  Is this considered normal for now?  My card happens to
be a linksys WMP54G version 4.0.  At least pauses beat crashes.  It's
going the right way for a work in progress.

I guess I should go read the bug tracking system and try out newer cvs
versions. :)
