Sorry, but backporting isn't that easy.
rt2x00 has undergone some major changes after the 2.6.25 codebase,
some code was completely restructured and several new features were added.
Between the rt2x00 version in 2.6.25 and the latest wireless-testing code are
over 80 patches, those patches fixed a lot of issues, and backporting those is
troublesome due to the code restructuring (where the code restructuring itself
most likely fixed your bug).
