Yeah, I saw that. Except I have quite a few machines that shipped with
the RT2561 wireless card (not my choice). I can't ask to replace these
by something better supported, because I know the answer will be "no".
And according to the forum on http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, the driver
developers find it perfectly normal that the driver freezes with SMP
enabled in the kernel... and expect you to build a kernel without it.
Unfortunately I have no programming skills, so I have to do with that. I
know it's a PITA.

Yeah, that looks pretty nice. I'll see what it looks like in daylight.
Gotta sleep.
