Hi Colin,

Yes, the bug is reproducible. (That's why i wrote this bug report in the first place :) )
The new 2.6.26-5-generic kernel oopses as well. The new oops message doesn't really differ from the original except for some different memory addresses. (Well, at least i think those are memory address.)

I managed to work around the error problem by blacklisting the rt2500usb driver.
But why is this driver loaded in the fist place? I'm a little confused here. I rmmoded rt2500usb experimentally under 2.6.26-3 and didn't notice any difference. It seems this driver isn't used at all. (Is there any method to verify this?)

Short:
2.6.26-3-generic rt2500usb and rt73usb are loaded --> works
2.6.26-4-generic and 2.6.26-5-generic rt2500usb is loaded --> oopses
2.6.26-4-generic and 2.6.26-5-generic with blacklisted rt2500usb --> works

Regards,
Christoph
