rt2860 wifi network hangs on downloading big files.

After upgrade to 3.2 kernel now my rt2860 pci card is not working properly. Wifi connects fine, and i can browse the internet and download small files. But if i try to download a big file (> 1 gb) over the LAN, it starts and then hangs after downloading 8-10 mb. I have to disconnect the network, and connect again.

I fixed it by installing rt2860 package from aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14557 and blacklisting 2800pci.

I would be happy with this solution, but now every time a kernel is updated i loose rt2860 after restart, and i have to manually recompile and instal the aur rt2860 package again.

Are there any tweaks or config to fix the rt2800pci hanging problem ? or how can i make it not to loose aur package after every kernel upgrade ?

Re: rt2860 wifi network hangs on downloading big files.

I do not use rt2800pci on either Arch or Ubuntu. For me, it just doesn't work. You are doing better than I, because I can't get a connection at all with it.

I put up with the effort of recompiling rt2860 after every kernel update, because it works. Besides, it helps me keep up my chops on compiling and installing kernel modules.
