Therefore ever since version 2.6.38-2, Debian kernels have had
powersaving disabled on rt2800usb devices.

I think we should revisit this in light of

  v3.0-rc2~7^2~16^2~190 rt2x00: Add autowake support for USB hardware
  (2011-04-30)

though I wouldn't be surprised if testing ends up revealing some
followup patches introduced after v3.2 to be needed for it to work
well.  What do you think?

Thanks,
Jonathan
