rt61 Wireless no longer works in 2.6.34

This is related to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99117

I'm having the same problem, but what fixed the OP's problem didn't fix mine. To summarize, the base arch setup has wifi working just fine in the 2.6.33 kernel that came with the latest core iso. Once I did a pacman -Syu and updated to 2.6.34, wireless is no longer working. It can scan for SSIDs, but it cannot connect. It times out. I'm using netcfg with basic authentication. Tailing everything.log, I see this:

kernel: wlan0: direct probe to <my ap> (try 1)
kernel: wlan0: direct probe to <my ap> (try 2)
kernel: wlan0: direct probe to <my ap> (try 3)
kernel: wlan0: direct probe to <my ap> timed out

I installed linux-firmware, and the system is finding /lib/firmware/rt2561s.bin just fine. Are there any known issues with the rt2561s/rt61 wireless cards and the 2.6.34 kernel? Are there other things I can try?

Thanks,
Joe
