Ralink rt61 doesn't work on battery with 2.6.36.2

Hi folks.

I recently reinstalled Arch on a Packard Bell MZ36 which has a Ralink rt61 wireless card. I'm using latest stock kernel from [core]. When I disconnect AC power and go to battery, I got a kernel message, and wifi doesn't work anymore. If I connect again AC power, it doesn't work. If I boot in battery, it doesn't work neither. Before reinstalling Arch, this machine had 2.6.35 on it, and it worked just fine. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Some outputs:

Re: Ralink rt61 doesn't work on battery with 2.6.36.2

same problem here. Screen turns black and says nearly the same as soon as AC power is off. Other distribution work with no problem (Linux Mint, Dream Linux Live-CD).

I'm running 32bit 2.6.37-ARCH, same problem occurs with 64bit kernel

05:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g

any idea?
