You could, but I guess that wouldn't give us more information about the
issue itself.

It's just strange, because if you use the same driver (rt2800pci from
compat-wireless) the actual kernel version shouldn't matter much ...

Maybe something more generic in the PCI code changed? But I'm not familiar
enough with the PCI code to actually have an idea.
