Just an idea related to another bug report regarding vendor request errors,
do you have the USB stick plugged into a USB 1.1 port?
If so, could you edit rt2x00usb.h and change the line:

#define REGISTER_TIMEOUT 20

And increase the value to something higher (up to 500) and see if that works better?

Thanks,

Ivo

Have you tried using the legacy driver?
I'm curious if the same problem exist in there are well...

Nope not at this time,
I'll look into the issue some more and see what might cause this.

while testing the lagacy driver I got this messages:

usb 2-2: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start
usb 2-2: chopping to 0 config(s)

and nothing worked....

Nope, very doubtfully.
When he is using the latest version there would be a big warning
"Not an rt2500usb device" and the driver would halt loading after that.

Hmm checking if at least it works on windows would be an idea,
but I am really starting to suspect hardware problems...

Nope, there is no master mode support in the legacy drivers.

Well, it may be an hardware error you got on your stick.

That or it is one of those wrongly named sticks which are actually
rt73... but i don't really know.

One last test you could do, go to a friend that uses Windoze and see
if it works as a client and if yes, which driver did it detect, rt73
or rt2500usb.

but I can't do anything today so tomorrow ;)
thx for your help.

ok will test in on my fc6 server (where the last working driver still
builds) and see if this one works.
if this does not work too I will test on windows to make sure thats a hw
problem.

I understand, but if you could test the legacy driver
for any other mode to see if at least the hardware is
all right.
Managed and adhoc mode would already give a good
idea about any possible hardware problems.

"usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address"
so its a usb2 device.
any other ideas?

Yes, but I want to rule out hardware problems completely.
If legacy still works then there is nothing with the hardware,
but indeed a driver problem.
If the legacy driver shows the same problem, it might be a hardware problem.
