This is an old one -- sorry if no one got back to you sooner!
It looks to me like the equivalent of the patch you cited is available
in 2.6.34-rc1 (if not before) -- look for DRIVER_REQUIRE_DMA and
rt2x00queue_align_frame. There were some changes between 2.6.32-rc5
and now, but I'm not sure if they affect things for your or not.
Could you try 2.6.34-rc1 and see if things are working for you?
Thanks!
John
