Why is wmaster0 renamed to eth1? And what about wlan0? Please show your /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. > Removing and re-inserting the card makes no difference but removing > the card, manually unloading the modules (rt2500, rt2500pci and > friends), doing a modprobe rt2500 and only then re-inserting the card, > works. It seems you have both the module in the kernel (rt2500pci) and the one from rt2500-source (rt2500) loaded, this is probably bad. Can you blacklist the rt2500 module and see if that helps?
