Many people are reporting problems,
for me the situation is the following:
i have 2.6.34 and a rt2860 (ralink wlan adapter)
(it worked even worse in 2.6.33 so i stayed at.32 [or .31 cant remember] for quite some time now)
After updating i can use the wlan adapter:
i can list networks, i can turn it on/off
But:
When connection to a network it works fine (using wicd) for 5 seconds or so
after that i cannot reach/ping ANYTHING, not even the router that 5 seconds ago
gave me this ip using dhcp :-(
i was just wondering if anyone knows how to solve this, or if its back to 2.6 .32/.31 for me (wich would be a shame
, cause i think there are a LOT of pkgs that i would have to downgrade manually (again) -.- )
Luckily i anticipated this and did not remove old unused packages,
i must say i am disappointed (but i dont know by whom ....)
the rt2860 worked very well for me, only few wpa1/2 secured connection gave me troubles
but most of the time even they worked very well, once established it NEVER lost connection
(without a good reason like unplugging the router -.- )
Hope someone knows something about this :-/
thx in advance

SOLVED

Just blacklisting the additional rt drivers that for some reason were loaded but not needed,
and confilcting with my rt2860 solved everything (didnt previously look at it cuz i have --60 not --70)
thx to the irc channel !

No offense meant, just FYI, but it is mentioned in the Wiki:
In kernel since 2.6.29 and requires no extra packages. It can be configured using the standard wpa_supplicant and iwconfig tools. Unfortunately this does not go for Arch. In order to get it to work, disabling the following modules has proven to be successful:
rt2800pci rt61pci rt2x00pci rt2800usb rt2800lib rt2x00usb rt2x00lib
