I did, however, ask whether anyone was going to fix the fact that once power-saving turns the LEDs off, they never come back on again, but I haven't had an answer. Is that a regression? I guess the answer is no, because power saving in the rt61pci driver is feature that is new to 2.6.31. Should it be fixed? I think the answer is yes, but being unable to do it myself, I probably don't have a vote :-) All I can do is report that I now know how to avoid my laptop freezing and leave the decision as to whether it should stay on the regression list to you and the folks from the wireless project.
