A mainline developer provided a patch which I am now
applying to kernel 2.6.35.4 (from kernel.org).
Will know if it works after I install and reboot.
As I had posted an FYI a couple of days ago, my
wifi card (rt2860) was not fully supported until
kernel 2.6.35. None of the Fedora releases support it yet
and I am not interested in the akmods from rpmfusion.
