Just a heads-up:
Since kernel 2.6.35, the in kernel, non-'staging' drivers for this card are operational. Now, instead of blacklisting rt2x00 & Co. you will need to blacklist rt2860sta until that driver is removed from the kernel/kernel config.

It's not working flawlessly with rfkill.
After disabling and re-enabling wlan via hotkey and acpi-eeepc-generic (I changed "driver" in the config from rt2860sta to rt2800pci)
chris@chriseee ~ % sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
255 chris@chriseee ~ % sudo rfkill list
0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: eeepc-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
chris@chriseee ~ % sudo rfkill unblock 3
chris@chriseee ~ % sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
chris@chriseee ~ %
Then it works.
How do I unblock it by default?
edit: Quick workaround:
/usr/bin/wlan0up
rfkill unblock $(rfkill list | grep phy | cut -f 1 -d ":")
ifconfig wlan0 up
In /etc/conf.d/acpi-eeepc-generic.conf

COMMANDS_WIFI_POST_UP=("/usr/bin/wlan0up")
Until real solution is there.

Yeah... eeepc_laptop has something to do with that, I believe.
Edit: wicd seems to do deal with the hickups by itself. Up until now it seems stable.

Also the quality meter is not working
It always reports best connection quality in networkmanager applet and in iwconfig.
Link Quality=70/70
Even when the connection is so bad that most packages are lost.
But it connects much faster especially the reconnect after suspending.

The power thing is known behavior, I think. Well, there is always room for improvement, I guess.
