@jh: the problem is that this driver is still alpha/beta software, even
upstream.

The upstream is basing the driver from the vendor's 2.1 version, but the
vendor already released the 2.3 one.

Neither one is stable or in a state that can be merged upstream, so
issues like these ones are, somehow, expected.

What I can see from this bug is that the backported patch that I sent
should be applied, to fix the bug of WPA/WPA2 mixed mode for RT2860 (as
the patch is already upstream and it's a staging driver), but this is
not going to fix all the bugs this driver presents.

If you want to improve the driver, the best way is using the upstream
version, getting new updates from the vendor and trying to improve the
quality of the driver in order to get it in the official tree, not just
staging, but this demands a lot of more work.
