+ In final maverick 64 bit live.
This also happens on the 2.6.36rc8 mainline kernel in a current installed maverick.
Also happens there with compat-wireless-2010-10-20.
Also happens on lucid with a backported natty kernel: (details in comment #5)
on lucid (installed) 64bit:
Linux w 2.6.36-1-generic #7~lucid1-Ubuntu
Both with this kernels stock rt2800pci and with self compiled compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc.
Also happens with that 2.6.36-1.7~lucid1 kernel (natty for lucid from
kernel team ppa) on maverick. The rt2800pci (stock from that kernel)
produced the load firmware error. (comment #3)

This bug does not happen with:
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.
Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on lucid 64bit with
the standard 2.6.32 kernel. It can connect. (Ping is 1000-25000ms
though.)
Does _not_ happen with compat-wireless-2010-10-25-pc on maverick (2.6.35
kernel) 32 bit live (ping went from good to 1000ms there within a minute
after connecting however, but that is beside the point here.)
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
+ REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
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");
