[Bug 659143] Re: rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error - PBF system register not ready.

** Description changed:

  In final maverick 64 bit live the WLAN does not become operational. The
  Network Manager Applet says: "Wireless networks disconnected". The log
  says: "phy0 ->  rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error - PBF system register not
  ready.".
  
- This does not happen on the 32 bit version (also live) where WLAN works (albeit with a slow 1-2 Mbit/s).
- This does also not happen on the current (post 2.6.36rc7) mainline kernel in a current installed maverick (which currently connects, but fails at the dhcp stage).
+ This also happens on the 2.6.36rc8 mainline kernel in a current
+ installed maverick.
+ 
+ This does not happen on the 32 bit version (also live) where WLAN works
+ (out of the box) just as well as with the rt2860sta.
+ 
+ This does not happen on Fedora 14 beta live 64bit. (I achieved a
+ respectable 10Mb/s with iperf in ad hoc mode with the rt2800pci.
+ rt2860sta is not included.)
+ 
+ Reproducibility: high
+ best keep the competing rt2860sta from loading with the entry "install rt2860sta /bin/false" in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/;
+ maverick also comes with the rt2860sta module which will often load and get used if it is just blacklisted ("blacklist rt2860sta");
