I have been using the 2.6.35 kernel with rt2x00 for about 6 months on an A100 card and hostapd. It has been extremely reliable.

After putting it off for a long time, I finally upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 which brought in 2.6.38-10. Now I get errors and complete stoppage of the wifi card at least once daily. I've been rebooting to recover which is annoying.

lspci:

I've tried power off, reseating card etc. There are (many) other reports of this type of failure from earlier kernels. This one is for 2.6.38

I can supply more information if you need it. The failure does not seem to be related to any particular data flow or usage scenario (or load).

thanks very much for your assistance.
