Stanislaw, can you help with this regression?

Yes. 

I'll check on mail archives what is the status and what can be done.

Helmut: or can you help somehow to get things rolling again?

Ciao, Thorsten, your Linux kernel regression tracker

Thx for this, that's how it got on the radar of regzbot, my Linux kernel

I would like to get this resolved, is there any more information you need from me?

I have been manually patching this all year with:

drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2x00usb.c
- if (rt2x00dev->num_proto_errs > 8)
-    return true;

It seems to just be some part of rt2800_load_firmware that is not
supported on my device and generating errors but it has been running
without problems in AP mode with daily usage.

This most likely is the problem introduced by commit:

commit e383c70474db32b9d4a3de6dfbd08784d19e6751

     rt2x00: check number of EPROTO errors

Plase check below patch that increase number of EPROTO checks
before marking device removed. If it does not help, plese
check if reverting above commits helps.

Should we do a revert? Can someone submit that including an explanation
of the regression.

Afaics nothing happened since then. Or did I miss anything? How can we
get the ball rolling again?

Stanislaw, is there anything Exuvo (who offered to help afaics) could
test to get us closer to a fix?

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: I have no personal interest in this issue and watch it using
regzbot. Hence, feel free to exclude me on further messages in this
thread after the first reply, as I'm only posting this mail to hopefully
get a status update and things rolling again.
