Kernel should generate some information when it hangs, at least when
debug options are enabled like CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS, CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR, ...
I just realized that compat-wireless-3.1-rc1-1, does not contain some
rt2x00 fixes:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=4b1bfb7d2d125af6653d6c2305356b2677f79dc6

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=674db1344443204b6ce3293f2df8fd1b7665deea
Try to apply them first, or use compat-wireless-next. If they not help
just try to reconfigure kernel to print messages on lockup.
Note, I'm not able to reproduce hangup using steps you provide. However
I have bad performance, between 6 and 16 Mbits/s measured by netperf
on connection between two rt2800usb stations through WRT160NL AP.
I'm going to look at this problem when I'll have a chance.
