Sorry, I misinterpreted what you meant.

So, to clarify, am I right in saying that you have:
 - "RT5390R" cards, PCI revision 0502 which all work
 - "RT5390RL" cards, PCI revision 1502 which work
 - "RT5390RL" cards, PCI revision 1502 which don't work with the
symptoms described above.

Ok, so let's look at this a bit closer: the "iw info" diff you
provided before makes me think that there is some form of regulatory
setting difference between the working and non-working cards. I would
guess that this would be visible in the dmesg output, could you boot
with a working card, save the dmesg, then boot with a non-working
card, save the dmesg, diff them and reply with that diff? I'm guessing
that there would be some lines in there about CRDA or regulatory which
would be different.

Also, what channel is your AP on and what region of the world are you
in? (I'm guessing Europe from your email address, but which country
specifically)

Thanks,
