Good question, but bugzilla isn't a good place to ask it.

Presumably there's some bustage in the rt2x00 driver which makes it not
work with -rt kernels.

Did the -rt guys tell the wireless guys about this?

No, I can't recall any -rt specific issues either, and so far no
regular open bug
is critical enough to make rt2x00 depend on CONFIG_BROKEN.

There was some build failure which got fixed in meantime, but I forgot
to remove the broken flag.

Will do with the next release.
