Hi Steve,

I think the following upstream LKML thread is interesting with regards
to this bug:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/26/292

A patch has been accepted into the upstream kernel and is already in the
upcoming ubuntu-jaunty kernel git tree:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ubuntu-jaunty$ git log -p

    rt2x00: Fix race conditions in flag handling
    
    Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to
    prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important
    are those that can change often and indicate the actual
    state of the device, queue or queue entry.
    
    The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to
    the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and
    made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;)
    
    Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates,
    which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the
    race conditions. Among those the notorious:
    
    rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the 
non-full queue 0.
    rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the 
non-full queue 0.
    rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the 
non-full queue 0.

It would be great if you could test once the Jaunty images are in a
decent enough shape and also contain the 2.6.28 based Jaunty kernel.
We'll at least need confirmation that this is resolved in the actively
developed kernel before the kernel team can consider backporting to
Intrepid - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .  Thanks.
