SRU Justification:

Impact: It is reported that the wireless dongle Linksys WUSB54GC v3 does not
work at all with rt2x00 driver. Scanning finds no network.

Fix: To remove the USB ID of WUSB54GC v3 from rt2x00. This enforces
rt2870/rt3070 in the staging tree to be used.

Test: Several users report in the Launchpad that the driver in the staging
tree works though also some users said it fails with some wireless encryption
combinations. I suspect it is due to protocol compatibility issue, e.g.
using TKIP with WPA2, etc. But unencrypted wireless always works. So this
patch at least gives users wireless functionality to some degree.

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446889

The removal of the USB ID from rt2x00 enforces rt2870/rt3070 in staging tree
to be used. rt2x00 is reported not working at all.

Looks like another case of patch that should go upstream. When doing so, I would
also propose it as stable material.

Keng-Yu, have you sent that upstream and made sure it will added to stable?

Keng-Yu,

Any update on this patch? Has it been submitted upstream and is it still necessary?

From the feedback in LP, rt2870sta in staging tree does not solve the
WPA/WPA2 issue perfectly either. I'd like to leave this patch out.

Since the USB VID/PID of this device was already added in
staging/rt2870sta, users can just blacklist rt2800usb or rt2870sta for
switching the driver to use at will.

  Thanks,
